Hi
I would like to join the society,but have a problem,in so much I have lost my driving license due to Epilepsy.
I would have serious problems coming to meeting unless there is someone in the Maldon/Heybridge area who is a member and is willing to take me to meetings.
Regards Jon

Hi,

I wondered if these meteors may have been observed from Mallaig (West Coast of Scotland) in a South Westerly direction on the 30th of July. We had a report of a red flare, and after thorough investigation nothing was found. I wondered if the Delta Aquirids may have been the cause,

Thank you in advance
Jackie

The map showing the constellation of Auriga has an
arrow pointing not at Epsilon Aur, but at Eta Aur.

Perhaps including a basic star chart or refering confused fans to “The Stars: A New Way to View Them” by H.A. Rey might be more helpful.

The radiant point is the place in sky where most of the streamers seem to come from… if we traced their path back to the source.

Hope this helps!

With meteor showers, there’s not one particular direction to look in. In this case they will be coming from the south. Take a comfortable chair outside from about midnight and sit & watch. You have to be patient with meteor showers.

Hi!
I am in Israel, and your notes are too technical for me. Practically speaking, where do I need to look in the night sky to see the meteor shower?

Thanks for the post,
Ted
