Results of the AKM Video Meteor Network - November 1999 ======================================================= Since March 1999, a number of video meteor cameras are regularly operated by members of the German 'Arbeitskreis Meteore'. The systems work fully autonomously with the MetRec meteor detection software. Here are the results for November 1999. The first half of the month is covered quite well, and a number of possible LINEARIDs were recorded. The weather in Germany was poor during the Leonid maximum. Still we could obtain valuable video recordings of the storm at Malaga and Tenerife/Spain. Results of a first Leonid analyses will be published in the next issue of WGN. 1.
