// Personal comments
ERI (Eridanid) shot from low in the SE.  Form check routine gives an error that 
the shower radiant was below the horizon but I checked w/ Stellarium and believe 
radiant was above the horizon at time of meteor appearance (0720 UT).  *** Note 
- I checked based on radiant shown in Lunsford Weekly Outlook (042/-11) and not 
the coordinates built into the form for ERI (052/-15).  I guess I should have 
overwritten the pre-populated number.

No PER until the 29th minute of the count.
