(meteorobs) Aurigid analysis

Indeed, nice work on the report.

I apologize if this is a triannual question: "Does ZHR" makes sense if the 
population is skewed heavily into the negative magnitudes? The ZHR I thought 
was based on greater and greater numbers of fainter meteors. So a decent 
number of bright meteors implies a huge number of fainter ones. If the 
population of this stream is not typical, then a calculated ZHR could be 
very misleading.

Good observing,
