(meteorobs) Meteor Elevation Data




 I have noticed that the IMO/NAMN meteor recording form does not include
a place to record meteor elevation information. Isn't this important to
help determine the absolute magnitude of meteors for magnitude distribution
studies? I always include this data with my ALPO reports. I though it was
important. It is fairly easy (with practice) to estimate the elevation of
a meteor at mid-trail, or where it was when the magnitude estimate is made.
