This is the Craferd Manor House Astronomical Society Dartfords, Perciad Meta Report for 2020. Overall, we recorded a total of 155 Perciad Metaurs out of the total of 288 meters captured in the month of August. The brightest being of a magnitude minus 5.7, during August we identified 24 different showers. You can see from the charts that as we have come to expect, the Perciad Metaurs' shower dominates the Meteors detected in August. There was a very distinct peak in shower activity on the morning of the 13th of August, between 1am and 3am U.T. It's also worth noting that most of the Perciad Metaurs detected were brighter than zero magnitude, with a significant number brighter than minus 1 magnitude. If you compare this to the distribution of magnitudes for sporadic meteors, you can see that the Perciids are clearly much brighter than a normal sporadic. This might suggest that they are either larger particles or intersecting the Earth at a much faster rate than a normal sporadic would. What follows is a video of all of the captures of Perciad Metaurs in August. The Craferd Meteor camera is operated by the Craferd Manor House Astronomical Society Dartfords at our headquarters at Sutton At Home. A team of volunteers log in on their allotted day to manually check the captures and sort them between those that are meteors and those that are false positives. In this way we are able to share the workload. The equipment, storage and broadband connection are all paid for out of society funds. Any member wishing to take part in this activity can contact Janice McLean, who is the organiser of the programme. The meteors are shown in chronological order throughout the month of August. At midnight on the 12th, the Moon, a crescent past last water, began to rise just after midnight. Our camera is pointed towards the west and the radiance is in the north. The peak was in the early hours of the 13th of August. And at sunset on the 12th of August, the radiant was 20 degrees above the horizon and continued to rise for the remainder of the night. By dawn on the 13th, it was about 60 degrees above the horizon. Keep watching until the end for some of the brightest Perciad Metaurs. This report has taken me over a day to collate and produce.
