A huge number of meteors were detected in August 2019. August continues to be a bumper month for Meteors, dominated by the Perseid's, but there are many other minor showers contributing to the number detected.

We also had our brightest meteor yet, a magnitude -5.5 sporadic meteor. 

If you look at the surface plot (bottom Right) it looks like there were three independent peaks in August.

The society run an 'almost automated' meteor camera, if you want to be part of the meteor team checking the results every morning then please speak to the coordinator - Janice.

A total of 535 Meteors were captured, with 340 of them being Perseid meteors. Below is a video of the 20 brightest meteors during August.

Summary of the report sent to the Nematode meteor group.

The Nematode group were able to match 11 of our meteors with observations from other observers in the group producing these orbits.
