[meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
It's clearing up, Jan, ... it's clearing up and I captured my first 2010 Perseid visually at 23:05 CEDST... a very fast one streaking N = S!

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
Well lets hope these folks over The Big Pond are more lucky than I am. It's clear all evening and haven't seen a darn thing yet... Have fun Bernd and all of you far in the west. - Original Message - From: bernd.pa...@paulinet.de To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 11:00 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010 It's clearing up, Jan, ... it's clearing up and I captured my first 2010 Perseid visually at 23:05 CEDST... a very fast one streaking N = S!

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
Starting at about 10 o'clock, walking over the fields together with my dear wife, pretty cloudy sky with only a few windows to the stars and - yes indeed, 2 nice Perseids flashing silently in the West. One for each of us, that's not the richness of Aladin's cave, but we're happy about them and launched our wishes as fast and as silent as the meteors appeared and disappeared. Aladin couldn't have been luckier.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
It's mostly clear here tonight. I'm going to get my camera and catchers mit and get out there tonight.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
Bernd, Last year Mary and I both saw one at the radiant. I thought there was some slight lateral movement. She said there was none. Only later did I vacillate between being scared that I (or she!) was a target and disappointed that these things have to burn up. Still a bright, warm afternoon here in SoCal. Another five or six hours before we take a drive up to the hills a little bit away from the lights. - John -Original Message- From: meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of bernd.pa...@paulinet.de Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 2:33 PM To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010 Jan wrote: How long is it driving to Germany Exactly the same idea crossed my mind, only difference I was pondering how long it would take me to drive to Holland ... have never been there and my Pauline would like to see the tulips in spring there!

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
The weather isn't so great here, either. But I've got 88 Perseids recorded over the last few nights. I've got some images at http://www.cloudbait.com/science/perseid2010.html On the subject of distance from the radiant, note the video of one of the Perseid fireballs, which originated just 7° from the radiant, so was nearly head-on.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
Hi Chis, You might see if you captured video of one that took place at 9:15 or thereabouts tonight. I watched it go from north to south or southeast a bit. It was west of Montrose. It was a spectacular thing to see with a long trail behind it. I'd call it a small fireball. I would be interested in knowing if you caught it on your cameras. I'd sure like to see it again if you did. Might have been a sporadic meteor. Mike in CO On Aug 12, 2010, at 4:53 PM, Chris Peterson wrote: The weather isn't so great here, either.

Re: [meteorite-list] Perseids 2010
It's not on my camera, although it could be on one of the others in the network. You can keep an eye on the overall activity in central Colorado by watching the real-time output of the Guffey camera at http://www.cloudbait.com/meteor/showraw.php . No images are posted here, but you might notice a common event with something witnessed, or see when activity picks up.
