Video observations of meteors in the CEMeNt network in May and June 2025

May and June 2025: less favourable weather, but records on 22/27 nights. The Eta Aquariids had a below-average maximum (4 May, ZHR 40±9; secondary on 7 May); CEMeNt determined 27 multi-station orbits. The network recorded 5,421→1,083 (May) and 7,408→1,516 (June) orbits. On 13 June, a rare three-member meteor cluster (JEC) with extremely low randomness (≈1.9×10⁻⁵) was captured.
