Bob inquired: "I was wondering if any list members from Europe or N. Africa were successful in seeing the Draconid meteor shower (storm) this evening?"
Hi All, I saw one that even flared at 22:25 CEDST. It was bright (bluish-white) with a short and stubby luminous trail. At 22:45 CEDST, there was another, not as bright as no. 1 but a longer trail. Same color and no flares. Then, unfortunately, we were once again clouded out where I live in the Mannheim / Heidelberg area here in Germany :-( There was a report last night that numerous Draconids (Giacobinids) were observed near Cologne. I think the report stated there were about 15 Draconids within 20 minutes. Best Sunday wishes, Bernd ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
