(meteorobs) Quadrantids from Belgium (VANMC)



Hi,
 
Murphy alive and well ?? Sure he definitely is ! The pre-maximum night was clear, but very cold (below -10 degrees). I noticed  already  a nice Quadrantid activity ; up to 10/hour resulting in a ZHR 10-13.
Unfortunately the maximum night was lost  ; clouds rolled in at +-20.00 UT...
 
Please I still hope you may enjoy my meteor data from 2-3/1...
 
Greetings and all best wishes for 2004,
 
Michel.
