Results of the IMO Video Meteor Network - June 2008
===================================================
Due to the short northern nights, the effective observing time dropped to
little above thousand hours in June, which is the lowest value so far in 2008.
However, that result should not discourage us. On the one hand, the data of
the two remotely operated cameras Remo1 and Remo2 are not yet included, and
on the other hand we never managed to get beyond 680 hours in all the
previous years. Especially Rui Concalves and Carl Hergenrother, who have
been contributing to the IMO network since early this year, enjoy many clear
nights thanks to their excellent observing sites, but also the weather was
favourable in the second half of June.
Was that sufficient to bring May back to the last place in the overall
statistics?
Yes! The number of meteors was significantly smaller than in the last month,
but still it was sufficient for a head start of 500 meteors compared to May.
Also the June and July meteors of 2008 will be included in the next full
analysis of the video meteor database, which will be presented at the IMC.
By the way, it is clearly visible how the activity has risen again in the
last few days of June. Whereas the average hourly count was two meteors, it
jumped to three to four meteors per hour in the last three nights on June.
The meteor season has started again!
