Hi!

  Last night Jure, Javor and I went to a local hill, Trije Kralji (1200m)
to observe comet LINEAR. The sky was surprisingly clear, given the humid
conditions below. 
  Limiting magnitude was excellent, 7.3 for me, and the sky was
overflowing with stars. The comet was readily visible with the naked eye.
In 7x50 binoculars there was also a 1 degree tail. Due to the excellent
conditions I decided to observe meteors, but after 10 minutes the sky
clouded over and that was it. Nonetheless, I saw 9 meteors in 10 minutes!

Period		F	LM	teff	PER	CAP	Spor
22:15-22:15UT	1.04	7.29	0.17	0	0	9

Ah well, it was a great experience.
