(meteorobs) Observations 21-28/08/2003



Hello,

Below are automatically generated visual summaries of 7 nights between 21 
and 28 august, observed from France (Auvergne). The weather was not 
perfect, but good enough to see about 253 meteors in a total effective time 
of +- 24 hours. Lm varied between 5 and 6. There were 228 sporadics, 8 PER, 
4 KCG, 3 NDA, 5 NIA and 5 AUR. The majority of meteors were plotted. All 
times in UT.

According to the IMO working list, alpha-Aurigids are only active from 
August 25th... but since 2 sure members of this shower were seen before 
this date, I reported this shower on the forms a bit earlier... Tho I guess 
I shouldn't do that, and simply count them as sporadics? Comments are welcome.

A few of my co-observers gathered a similar amount of data... So you could 
say we've been pretty productive :-)

Kind regards,
Geert
