A predicted encounter with the 1819, 1825, 1830, and 1836 dust ejecta of comet 7P/Pons-Winnecke on 2004 June 23 was observed from California using a low-resolution slit-less spectrograph. Six slow June Bootids of magnitude +0.4 to +2.3 were recorded in the 17 x 13 degree field of view between 07h30m and 12h00m UT, with a noticeable lack of fainter meteors. In addition, two spectra were obtained from meteors just outside the field of view that show strong sodium emission and a weak magnesium line, on top of a faint continuum that lacks air plasma emissions. This report issued shortly after the observations presents preliminary results.
