All meteors counted using alignment cord for accuracy, data recorded on audio tape.
Shower CBE, RA 149, Dec +36, velocity 64; taken from Sirko Molau's shower # 130.
This is before the working list start date.
Shower NOO, RA 098, Dec +16, velocity 45; Sirko Molau's shower 118, also IAU shower # 250.
GEM radiant position projection beyond working list start date.
I planned for a 2 or 3 hour session, but clouds rapidly moved in.
Split time into 2 equal intervals.
Hazy night caused poor LM. Temp -6 C, light breeze.
