Second Week of March Meteors

From Bob’s notes …

Mar 13/14: “Despite the forecast for cloudy skies, the sky remained relatively clear all night long. Only an occasional high cloud obscured the sky at times. Meteor rates were a bit on the low side. The waxing gibbous moon is probably beginning to cause some interference. The Antihelion radiant remained busy producing nearly a quarter of the night’s activity. Plots did not reveal any possible radiants.”

Mar 12/13: “It was clear at dusk but soon clouded up. Skies cleared after midnight but remained cloud-free for only an hour. Only 4 meteors were recorded before the skies clouded up for the remainder of the night.”

Mar 10/11: “Tonight was clear but I had a late start. Activity was average but with a few more Antihelion meteors than normal. Plots did not reveal any potential radiants tonight.”

Mar 9/10: “Tonight was mostly clear with only occasional cirrus drifting by. Meteor rates were similar to last night with no exceptional activity. Plots showed a lot of activity in Leo, most which can be associated with the nearby Antihelion radiant. One member of the Gamma Normids was recorded.”

Mar 8/9: “Another storm passed through the area preventing any observations on the 7th and 8th. Tonight was totally clear but I had a late start. Still, more meteors were recorded tonight than during the two previous all night sessions. No Gamma Normids were recorded nor did plots reveal any other possible radiants.”
