(meteorobs) Plotting during major showers?




A comment recently forwarded to the list by Gary (and/or George Gliba?), in 
regard to minor radiants sometimes being missed because of their proximity to 
major showers, brought a question to mind:

Are there regular observers who plot during the major showers, e.g. Perseids, 
instead of the "accepted" describing method, explicitly because so few other 
people DO plot during that time? Although I'd hate to be the one missing some of 
the show during those major-shower maxes, I wonder if this might actually be an 
excellent time to contribute plots as well? Previously unseen complexes in major 
shower radiants, new minor showers, or unexpected changes in sporadic activity 
all spring to mind. Thoughts appreciated,
