> I have tried many times observing meteors earlier with a partial success during 
> LEONIDS storms since year 2000. But ever since I got membership of this group I 
> have not been able to watch any due overcast skies because of monsoons. I hope 
> somehow I manage to get at a place with clear skies between 10 and 12 August. 
> I have one difficulty. I do not understand how does one measure the magnitude of 
> illuminance of meteor. Could any one of you explain it to me.
