Orionids/Leonids 2015

[BillW]

Hi,

The weather here has been truly awful over the past weeks. How have others faired? Very little video observing from here

On the radio front, neither shower nor the Taurids seem to have had much of a distinct peak. The activity seems to have been reasonably uniform with odd hour with higher counts now and them.

Did catch one exceptionally large echo on the radio lasting just over a minute on the morning of the 21st Nov (~090850ish)

cheers,
Bill.

Hi Bill, the weather has been much kinder down south with very few days lost. I had approx. 300 Orionids over the last 2 months. Approx 300 Leonids and a large collection of Taurids. These are single station captures from my 4 cameras so are not verified by dual station analysis yet. Nonetheless, I have had a fairly busy couple of months.

I'm in the process of setting up a new spectrum camera to hopefully gather some meteor spectra and am also setting up a radio system to listening for meteors. Keeps me busy.

Hi,
Those are great counts! Hopefully you'll be spectrum ready for the Quadrantids.
Cheers,
Bill.
