Results of the IMO Video Meteor Network - January 2006
======================================================

The success story of the IMO video meteor network continues in the new year,
but the start was not very promising. Even though we now have a number
of camera stations from northern to southern Europe, only a few observations
could be made in the first days south of the Alps. Most of the continent was
covered by a thick clouds layer. Hence, the Quadrantids could be observed in
northern Italy only, whereby the outcome of Enrio Stomeos wide angle camera
was remarkable again. Later in January the weather improved significantly, and
thanks to the long nights we could collect more than a hundred hours of
observing time in a single night (Jan 23).

The second reason for the good overall totals is that the network is further
growing. In January, Mihaela Cekada (Slovenia) started observation, and
Javor Kac registered first meteors with his second camera in Slovenia, too.
Thus, we could record (once more :-) more meteors than in any January before,
and with respect to the effective observing time it was the second best result
of the network after October 2005.
