(meteorobs) June Bootids from Xinglong, China



Hi, everyone,

Jin Zhu and I came to Xinglong for monitoring any possible activity of the June Bootid meteor shower two days ago.
On the night of June 27/28, it rains here until 1AM. The weather was then turning better soon at about 2AM. I have an visual counting observation since then.
Last night (June 28/29), the observation started at 10PM, and just ended. I and Jin visually monitored for the entire night of about 5 hours.

Here is the observations of last night (June 27/28). Today's report will be posted later.

It was very coincident that 3 bright sporadic meteor appeared with in the first 5 minutes once the weather became clear on the night of 27/28. Their magnitudes were -4, -2 and -1. Unfortunately, all of them were not included in the report below, since the formal observations has not started yet at that time.
