Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2006 ?
Hello Robert, All, After a day of hunting, we spent the early evening tonight stargazing in the relative darkness (compared to Los Angeles) of the Mojave. All in all, I wasn't particularly wowed or disappointed. Wewatched from sundown until a bit after the moon rose (about 8-10pm), and I'd have to say that the best display was within half an hour of darkness. It was pretty spotty - started withseveral bright white meteors within a few minutes, along with a pretty spectacular orange one that crossed a good portion of the sky, but overall it wasn't that great. There were periods of ten or so minutes without a single meteorseparated by either single meteors or occasionally twoin a minute or so. Trains tended to be a good length, and there was one in particular that was rather interesting. I only saw the very bright flash off to my right, but Peter said that the flash preceded a very long and fairly bright meteor. I'm at a bit of a loss to describe exactly how this occurred, unless it was really two meteors - one coming right at us (the flash) and then another to create the long train that he saw. Other than that, probably three sporadics (way off course for Perseids), and one very bright satellite which we thought could've been bright enough to have been the international space station. Max temp. by the thermometer was 110 F -not pleasant, but could've been much worse, as a few of you fellow hunters might know ;) Regards, Jason On 8/13/06, Robert Woolard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi List,Any members have any reports about the Perseids thisyear???(Socked in by clouds here in AR this time around.)Best wishes,Robert WoolardIMCA #8103http://www.portalesvalleymeteorites.com__ Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?Yahoo!

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2006 ?
Hi :-) In germany, in ulm, best weather from 4 o' clock in the evening to midnight (GMT +2). Saw about 25 big perseides in this night and one very bright bolide from the constellation cygnus into saggitarius. An after glowing trail, color turned white-blue with smoke. I think is was half past eleven, but I don't know sure. Thomas IMCA #0298 Robert Woolard schrieb: Hi List, Any members have any reports about the Perseids this year???

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2006 ?
Pretty bad weather in Colorado, too, but I did catch about 100 meteors, including a number of fireballs.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2006 ?
Hi Bob- Wow, not my experience at all. I only discarded about 5 obvious sporadics from the 95 meteors collected over three nights (70 of those from the night of Aug 11/12). Normally I'd have around 20, but the poor skies limited detections to bright meteors, which were mostly Perseids. Because of bad weather, most of my images were collected between about 2am and 5am, so there wasn't much movement of the radiant. Consequently, the radiant is very obvious in the image I linked earlier ( http://www.cloudbait.com/science/perseid2006.html ). I fell off the meteorobs list a while back for some reason; if you'd like, feel free to post the above link there. This year appears to be above average for the Perseids once you factor in the combination of a bright moon and bad weather.

Hello Tom, Robert, and List, Attempted to observe the Perseid shower from the Los Angeles area, but even after taking into account the moon light, marine layer haze, and other light pollution this year's shower was still a decidely weak display. Our meteor counts were consistent with other reports from profession observers around the world in that the number of Perseids were roughly equal to the number of Sporadic meteors counted for the same time periods. Here is an example of one of those reports: http://lists.meteorobs.org/pipermail/meteorobs/2006-August/004570.html In prior years I've always observed the sporadics to only total a small fraction of the count of Perseids. This year, other than a couple Earthgrazing Perseids, the more noteable meteors were either a Sporadic or a fireball out of one of the 5 OTHER meteor shower radiants that were occurring at that same time. http://lists.meteorobs.org/pipermail/meteorobs/2006-August/004542.html Regards, Bob V. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
