(meteorobs) Observation 27/12/2003

Hi!

The list has been broken down for some time now, so here's a late 
report from Saturday night. In case this gets through, I will send my 
big meteor observation summary 2003 later this day. Please also note 
the following little correction to my report from 23/12, the train 
distribution table was messed up and should be:

[...]

enumeration starts in the 20/02/2003 session
all coordinates in mm from the lower left corner of the map
velocity scale:
1 - very slow; 2 - slow; 3 - medium; 4 - fast; 5 - very fast
* possible Lynx activity (see AMS metor outlook)

Comments: Some trouble with the clouds, that's why my periods
and fields are so scattered. Ursids are over, Northern Apex
(COM) is quiet and clouds are rolling in, so this was maybe
my last observation in 2003. If so: Happy New Year!

Please note: d = degrees, all times in UT
