Click on images to enlarge
All these images have stayed realize from Monte Romano (Italy) Lat 44.08 N Long 11.38 E, the night between the 16 and the 17 november, between 23.00 UT of 16 and 4.00 UT of 17, quite a lot hours before the maximun scheduled. The ZHR has stayed of around 100/150 unity, the best part of these with magnitude understood between -3 and -7. At 24.02 and at 24.06 UT I have observed two meteors of magnitude -10 to the zenit, which they have illuminated like in the daytime the mountain.
Unfortunately the night between the 17 and the 18, I have observed few meteors, between which many sporadic, nothing to do with the splendid rain of the preceding day.
Sorry for the scarce quality of the images, the printings are very better, but my scanner couldn't do better.
