Results of the AKM Video Meteor Network - April 2000
====================================================

What a difference compared to the previous month! Whereas there were almost
no clear nights in March, we were able to observe almost every night apart 
from a gap near the middle of this month. Even when the observing conditions
were often not perfect (full moon during the Lyrids, strong haze and cirrus 
clouds in other nights) were were able to record a respectful number of
meteors thanks to the many observations. In the same month of the previous
year we gathered only less than 20% of these data.
