Results of the IMO Video Meteor Network - July 2006 =================================================== July was in many respects a special month. On the one hand this was thanks to an amazing number of 22 meteor cameras that were operated by 15 observers from 8 countries. The lead took once more Joerg Strunk, who operated four Mintron cameras alone. On the other hand, the hot Summer weather persisted trough all of July in central Europe. For the second time after August 2003, one observer alone (Sirko Molau) managed to recorded meteors in every single night. Joerg Strunk missed only a single night, and our Slovenian observers Mihaela Triglav and Javor Kac obtained also well above 20 observing nights. So it comes as no surprise, that despite the short summer nights the camera network yielded more than 1300 observing hours and 6500 meteors. Last but not least the reason might have been, that I offered last month a bottle of champagne for the 200000th entry in the video meteor archive. Or why did we have that many observers in July? :-) Since I got only the summaries from some observers I cannot tell yet who the lucky winner is. All I can say so far is that "the" meteor was recorded in the evening of July 22. At that night, 8 observers were active... 1.
