(meteorobs) Visual Arietids from Hawaii
Greetings list,
I took advantage of a nice clear weekend night to do an attempt at the Arietids visually, around their peak time June 8. Being optimally placed in the northern tropics, I suspect I had the best chances to see them. I began my hour Teff at 3:45am local time, which is when the radiant rose. Twilight began to be noticed around 4:40am, so I got almost a full hour of nice dark skies. One definite ARI and another one which was either ARI/SPX, really no way to differentiate, so I split it half/half. Not really impressive ARI activity, but there was something logged. Otherwise a mix of fainter meteors, mainly SPO and ANT. Nothing brighter than 2, so it was a little tough to keep awake :(
Aloha,
Mike
