(meteorobs) AMS Meteor form

[FELIX A MARTINEZ]

How well You observe the meteor is definitely the main factor in
observing accuracy.  I remember how many of us in the 1970's and early
1980's noted distance from central vision for each meteor seen.  Norman
McLeod encouraged me in this endeavor as a study was being undertaken to
try and correlate meteor rates to how well an observer tends to see most
meteors.  Generally we discovered that many observers that saw higher
rates than us tended to  see meteors further from central vision.
