(meteorobs) Re: The Moon and Meteors

[vaubaill]

Hi David,

I am not sure exactly why the Moon should be a problem if sitting close 
to the radiant, since we rarely observe towards the radiant, but rather 
~45deg off of it.
The Moon can also change the orbit of the meteoroids but I suspect the 
change is not that impotant because of the relative low mass of our 
satellite.
