Results of the IMO Video Meteor Network - February 2006 ======================================================= Whereas observers in nothern Europe will hardly have positive memories of February, the first part of the month presented perfectly clear skies to observers south of the Alps. Later it was overcasted there as well, though, leaving only a few clouds gaps for all observers in the network. Once more it was only thanks to the large geographic coverage that we could cover all February nights with observations. Meteor activity stayed low as expected, and there were no particular highlights. We owe the still considerable overall number of meteors most of all the long nights. Hopefully spring will show up and the weather will improve soon. 1.
