Lyrids 1998: Visual Observations
team VST/EPS - Lattrop (Arnold Tukkers)


Hello everybody,

Below the Lyrid data of the night 22/34 april 1998 of Arnold Tukkers. I was observing from my backyard (garden) together with Rita Verhoef, my always humouristic female catcher off shooting starts. In the beginning it didn't see much meteors, i was a little tired. I saw one meteor in a constellation of four little stars in a square, and i didn't know witch constellation it was. Rita helped me,........ it was the Little Dipper. But later that night i saw more meteors, below the data.

Bye, Arnold Tukkers (ATL)
