From: Ed Majden EMO Sandia Bolide Detection Network station, Courtenay, B.C. CANADA Date: November 17, 2000 EMO Sandia All-sky Leonid Report Longitude: 125 deg 00' 36" W Latitude: 49 deg 40' 37" N Date: 16 November 2000 A Sandia Labs All-sky Patrol Camera was operating at the above location from 07:20 UT to 14:30 UT. Depending on the velocity and colour of a meteor this unit should detect most meteors brighter than -2.0 magnitude, all meteors brighter than -3.0 magnitude. Jupiter is recorded very well at -2.7 magnitude with this unit. Detections recorded on November 16, 2000 Time: 11:28:57 UT Magnitude: ~ -5.0 magnitude possibly brighter as it was detected near the bright moon. Fast meteor, probably a Leonid Around 11:36 UT intermittent bands of clouds interfered at times. This problem persisted until morning. The video tape was monitored until 14:30 UT. Only one more meteor was recorded on this tape. Time: 13:21:51 UT Magnitude: ~ -5.0 short and fast probable Leonid. No sporadic meteors were recorded during this session. --- Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 11:14:07 -0800 A very nice Sporadic fireball, -8.0+ magnitude, was recorded by a Sandia All-sky Camera located in Courtenay, B.C. CANADA on mid Vancouver Island on 17 November 2000 at 07:08:34 UT. It was also recorded by a second Sandia All-sky located at Royal Oak, near Victoria B.C. on the southern end of the Island. We also have a report that it was visually observed from Washington State near Seattle.
