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

The weather in July was so poor that I refuse to write even a single line on
meteor activity. The still remarkable number of observing nights is misleading, 
as most observations were carried out in clouds gaps of limited duration only. 
In July 1999 individual observers logged almost as many hours as all 
observers together in this year!

Anyway, there is at least some positive news: Joerg Strunk has started to
operate a video system in parallel to his fireball camera at Leopoldshoehe.
He will certainly contribute many valuable observations to our network in
the near future. The only thing that's still missing is a proper name for his
camera. :-)
