(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,
