Dear meteor observers,

It's a long time that I haven't post on meteorobs, though I always
keep reading your nice postings. It was just an hour of clear before
dawn this morning, and we made some observations in Xinglong station
of National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
(observation covered 2003 Jun. 27 UT 18:15-19:20.)

Huan Meng made one hour visual observations, and saw 13 meteors at
LM ~ 5.0. One of the 13 could be a JBO. I think that he will send his
formal report later. I made vedio observation almost during the same
time, and captured 8 meteors, including 2 JBOs! One of the two is very
bright, I guess it might be -1 or even brighter, but it was missed by
the visual observation. It's a pity that I didn't bring the tranfer
wire with me, so I could only cut it out from the tape and post it
somewhere next week when I go back Beijing.

It's clear now and we'll start another observing night soon...

Wish you clear nights!
