(meteorobs) Observation May 22/23, 2006 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

Hi All,

last night I observed with Jure A. from about 1h local time until dawn.
The transparency was excellent due to low humidity and the limiting
magnitude reached 6.7 in the zenith, which is great for the location.
We wanted to check for the possible meteors from comet
73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 but did not see any.
I recorded 29 meteors in total, 5 were from the Antihelion source and
others were sporadic. I saw five meteors of magnitude 0 or brighter. The
brightest was a -1.5 magnitude antihelion meteor at the border of
Ophiuchus, Serpens and Aquila.

Clear skies!
Javor
