Re: (meteorobs) URSID/COM Observations 12/22/2003
I have herewith successfully completed my Ursid Campaign,
2003. The Ursids, like last year, were pretty much a bust.
I saw only two this morning during the two-hour watch.
My LM was down more than a full magnitude during the first
part of the first period, but improved greatly during the last
half of the session. The seven meteors marked with an asterisk
below all intersect in central Leo and mark an area that
apparently was very active on the 21 and 22 also, interfering
with my NAPX counts.
