About this image

After the annual highlight of the Geminids and the short-duration peak of the Quadrantids, February brings some of the lowest meteor rates of the year with only weak activity from minor streams. I was pleased to record 936 meteors last month, an improvement on 650 from February 2018.

Most of February's meteors were mag 1 or fainter. Here is a nice mag -0.5 gamma Bootid travelling through Cep/Lac.
