Dear Jeremie,

Though there is disagreement between the models, the models that do predict
increased activity seem to agree about the fact that the additional meteors
will be dim on average.

I have no experience in observing meteors by telescope, but I'm considering
doing so in the period around the predicted peak. But since I don't think I
will be able to estimate the limiting magnitude I think it will be quiet
hard to reduce the observations to ZHR values.

Now If that makes the observations worthless I will just observe visually.

So I wonder, will 'raw' telescopic observations be usefull?

Yours,

Daniel
