[meteorite-list] Perseids 2004 from California

[Thomas Kurtz]

   How was it for some of the rest of you?

   Best regards,
   Robert Woolard  



Hello List,


I observed the Perseids in California, 1 Mile from the Lick Observatory and
it was a great show ! I begun at 4:10 AM and saw 7 Perseids in 2 minutes. 
Then unfortunately, comes a cop and drove my friend and me away, at 4:10 AM!
This is Americas Liberty.
But we drove some miles away and saw between 4:25-4:40 20 Perseids.
3 bolides (-4m, -2m, -1m) and many perseids with magnitude 4-6m.


Greetings from Sunnyvale,

Thomas Kurtz.

PS.: I'm living now near San Jose in Silicon Valley. I'm working by Pinnacle
Systems until end of February.
I am very interested to get to know meteorite collectors from my
neighborhood.
Who lives here ?
Last weekend  I was in Nevada in Tungsten Mountain and found a 8g Meteorite.
I have much experience in the field of meteorite hunting and found
meteorites in Poland and in Arabia desert.
I'm very interested to search for meteorites with you in the next 7 months.
Please let me know and we can make a Silicon Valley meteorite meeting here.
I brought some seldom meteorite with me, probably lunar !

(a) Interestingly, we saw more Perseids before midnight
than after midnight.

(b) We observed a slightly larger number of brighter meteors
before midnight.

(c) The ones after midnight seemed to be fainter, foreshortened
and *very* fast as we were looking for them closer to their
radiant which was now much higher in the sky.

(d) The very bright ones were all of an orange/yellow color.

(e) Several bright Perseid meteors left easily visible smoke trains.

Not Perseid-related - but just as exciting :-)

During moments of clear seeing and with averted vision, we
could glimpse the Andromeda Galaxy without optical aid !!!

Cheers from
Germany,

Bernd
