(meteorobs) [Bulk] General Meteor Observation

[Larry]

Since no other answer has been forthcoming, I can only say last night I had 
broken cloud patches which did mask the moon alot. During those periods my 
photographs had good contrast on weaker meteors near the moon's position, 
although parts of the meteor filming itself was reduced by those same 
clouds.

A bright Fireball or Bolide would have no trouble with broken cloud cover 
like that even if it did back-illuminate the low clouds.

I believe it is worth observing but am not sure about recording the data 
though as it is based(I think), on consistant good viewing for an accurate 
count and measure for that time period. (IMHO)

I run only camera's and do not observe myself.
