Video observation of Draconids 2011 from Italy
Abstract
The joint observation of Draconids 2011 by one all-sky video camera of the Slovak Video Meteor Network (SVMN), cameras of the Central European Meteor Network (CEMeNt), the Polish Fireball Network and local Italian Meteor and TLE Network in the night of October 8-9 brought hundreds of detected meteors over Italy. Due to the problematic weather situation in Central Europe, several groups had to move up and locate their video equipment in the Northern Italy to become a part of a ground-based observational Draconids 2011 campaign. This enthusiasm and effort resulted in valuable observations, of which results are presented in this brief paper.
