(meteorobs) Meteor Observations from Northern Nevada on May 5, 2011

[Robert Lunsford]

Robin and All,

I am glad to hear you made it out at lease one night! An ill-timed cold front has ruined my chances of viewing any ETA's.

I am curious as to why you faced northward? It is possible that you might have missed some ETA activity that shot into the southern 
portion of the sky. Unless your eastern horizon is bad, I would have faced in this direction.

I am still looking forward to getting together with you in the Mojave Desert for the Orionids in  October. I hope you are able to 
view a few more times before then!

Clear Skies!

Bob

I went out to observe the Eta Aquarids on the only clear morning we were
supposed to have during this week. What I saw, as follows, was a pretty meager
display.
