Results of the IMO Video Meteor Network - November 2005
=======================================================

In November, the favourable high pressure weather situation of September and 
October further continued in Germany. Unfortunately, it could not be used at 
all sites. In southern Germany, strong fog developed as often at this time of 
year, and only higher areas enjoyed blue skies. In the second half of November, 
the picture changed: The weather became instable, first snow fell and skies 
were almost always covered. Whereas in nothern and western Germany the 
observing conditions were poor, skies cleared almost every night for a few 
minutes to hours in the south. Thus, the overall observing time was quite 
remarkable, even though not a single night was fully clear. In fact, in the 
end we obtained more observing hours and meteor records than in any November 
before.

Towards the middle of November, the meteor rate increased and a number of bright 
meteors with persistent trains could be observed thanks to the Leonids, which 
remained otherwise unspectacular in the moonlit skies. Also with respect to
other
meteor showers, November did not yield further highlights.
