Szervusztok!

Az alabbi levelet kaptam egy nemzetkozi meteoros listan. Tovabbkuldom, mert a benne szereplo linkeken tovabbi informaciok vannak a Perseidak idei jelentkezeserol: akit erdekel, klikkeljen oda!

A lenyeg, hogy aug. 12-re varjak a maximumot 100 koruli ZHR-rel, es mivel a Hold 1:30 tajan nyugszik, van ido boven eszlelni (es a Perseidak hajnalban ugyis erosebbek).

Udv:
Szilard

Get ready now, because one of the most popular meteor showers of the
year is here - the Perseids! This shower is one of the most watched
meteor showers of all, mostly due the number of meteors it produces each
year plus the fact it provides summertime observing for observers in the
northern hemisphere.

Here´s the data on this shower:

Active: July 17 to August 24
Peak of Activity: August 12
ZHR: around 100
Radiant: 03 04 (RA)  +58 (DEC)

The moon will set around 1:30 a.m. which will allow several hours of
observing. Here are some websites that contain additional information on
the Perseids:

IMO:            http://www.imo.net/calendar/2008#per

If you are new to meteor watching, you might consider holding a simple
meteor count in which you record only the time of each meteor and
whether or not you believe it was a Perseid or non-Perseid. After your
observing sessions, send me the results and I will publish them on our
website. If you would like to take a more serious stab at collecting
meteor date, why not consider submitting a full report to both NAMN and
the International Meteor Organization. Instructions, forms, charts and
an observing handbook are all available from me electronically. The IMO
also has an electronic report form, plus instructions, on their website.
The web address is:

While Perseid reports are coming in, the IMO also publishes a Perseid
site with nearly live data posted. To reach that website, please visit:

I look forward to reading about everyone´s Perseid observations, and
wish all clear skies!
