tuckstar Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) I know, don't believe the hype, but it looks like there might be a chance the alpha Monacerotids could develop in to a storm, but only for a very short time on the morning of the 22nd of November (next friday) from about 4:15am. Might be worth getting up early for. https://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/observing-news/intense-meteor-outburst-expected-alpha-monocerotids/?fbclid=IwAR0gFdNE3AtvSidfW6CanBJ8VliWIr_HWGP7dKxUfbgzZzwyuVDuZDpi2mY Of course, we know that Procyon isn't in Monoceros. Thought S&T would of got that right! Edited November 15, 2019 by tuckstar Bottletopburly and +RonC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Mmmmm Unicorns. Could it be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 In the highly unlikely event of it being clear (given current form) i'm up for a meet-up, if anyone else is. I have 11 days leave remaining to be used up this year, so i'm using 4 and having next week off, with nothing much planned (not at that time of the morning anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Woke up, looked out the window, went back to bed. Anyone have any luck? From what I've seen I don't think it came to fruition. +RonC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I had a look out at 03:30 and it was full cloud here with a bit of rain about. So i went back to bed. Then a car alarm went off over the road, and repeated about 4 times....😬 I may as well have got up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Nothing to report. I even switched on the meteor detector!! (I know Graham) and got 3 pings in the 2 hours I was listening. Edited November 22, 2019 by Ibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Looks like it was a damp squib then...... (You were right about unicorns ! 😀) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
