(meteorobs) Aurigid analysis

[Chris Peterson]

I've had time to more completely analyze my video results from Colorado. 
Based on data from three cameras (waiting on a fourth), there were two 
peaks of activity, one at UT 11:20 and the other at 11:35. This reflects 
some sort of stream structure, whether temporal or spatial isn't yet 
clear. The corrected peak ZHR works out to around 3000, although I don't 
know how meaningful that is when peaks are very narrow. Another measure 
was that the cameras detected about 50 meteors brighter than mag 2 
during the one hour of significant activity. I also accurately located 
the radiant, which was several degrees across and doesn't seem to show 
any fine structure.
