Hi Paul 

Welcome to the list! 
It is not easy to combine work - family and meteor observing during off season period (outside the big annual showers) but I find it always pretty to observe during all year seasons. March or November; I don't care. There is always something to see on the night skies... One big problem, I do not find the time for posting all my results as for exemple Pauls M, Pierre Martin, G Gliba and many others... great stories and results. Still my counter in 2013 touches already the border or 50 meteor sessions and the year istn't finished yet. Biggest problem: the disgusting weather conditions above the Low Countries Belgium and The Netherlands... 
It'll be nice to read reports from you, Paul! 

Have fun, 



Michel Vandeputte

  I wanted write and introduce myself to the group. I've been an amateur astronomer for over 30 years, since watching the Perseids from the south shore of Lake Michigan in my teens. I'm a longtime member of the AAVSO and recently also joined ALPO. I've recently gotten interested in systematic meteor observing and I've enjoyed reading the posts from this group. The potential for amateurs to contribute to this branch of astronomy seems huge to me, since so few people get outside night after night to record meteors outside of the big annual showers. I was wondering if there were any members here from Indiana and if anyone knew of any good places (parks, etc) in Southeast Indiana where one can observe. I live in Indianapolis but work in Greensburg and I'm often traveling between the two cities before dawn, away from a lot of light pollution. Thanks! Paul Zeller
