Hi,

Yes there was something. I detected 3 waves of meteors. Looking at other stations in rmob.org I could say yes it was more or less a good result.

First at 02:00 UTC then at 06:00 UTC and the last was at 11:00 UTC which is 21:00, 01:00 and 06:00 hours local time.

Later in the day I will analyze the txt data and try to make a line graph.

Hi all,
Running the "Echoes" meteor detection programme as we speak from the 27th of May, and hopefully picking up the Daytime Arietids max around the 7th June so I'll post results around ten days time.

Fingers crossed!!!

Interesting!
From New Mexico (USA) I saw about 28 (a few "possibles" out of the corner of my eye) from 4:45-5:45 UT. Then an additional 7 from 6:15-6:45 UT. It looked like it was peaking about when I first went out, so I wish I had started a bit earlier. Conditions were pretty good, but I was looking at a fairly small part of the sky. A pretty nice shower, but alas no storm.

OK..... well there's a plan that didn't quite come off as anticipated!!
Noticed yesterday morning that "Echoes" had stopped with an "acquisition error", so quickly saved the records that should have the Tau Herculids at least and restarted for the Daytime Arietids maximum to come...... so results for the Tau Herculids only are (for me), three or possibly four "peaks" in the following GMT(UT) time slots.
30th May 04-05UT and 09-10UT,
31st May a period of enhanced activity from 00-06UT and a clear maximum at 01-02UT
and possibly another on 01 Jun 06-07UT
Heat map and line graph are below.

Regards to all,
Les

Hi Girls and Guys,

Another success for the mexican RMO stations Citizen Scientists as we were mentioned in the scientific paper by Hiroshi Ogawa, expert in analyzing Radio data of metoer impacts.

It is the second time the stations in Mexico are mentioned. First time with the Arids
