"Enhanced" Aurigid activity ?????

Post by Wyvern »

Dear all,
According to the UK based"Sky at Night" magazine, an article noted a "possible" enhanced activity period from their normally low rates for the 31st Aug around 22.00 - 23.00UT.

Looking at my heatmap covering the days around this "enhanced activity", I'm not seeing anything in the above period, but there is a curious hotspot for 12.00UT on the 30th. Did anyone else get this or similar results?

Your comments and results would be appreciated.

Regards, Les

Hi Les,

I've just pulled together my data for August (and into September). I didn't see much of an uptick over the period in question.

Hi Rainer,

The data are stored as a CSV file and can be imported into excel using the ‘data’ function. Instructions can be found online. Once imported you’ll be able to plot as you wish.

Hi Stu,

Thanks, will take a look into that.

I do not have Microsoft excel as I work with open office.
