(meteorobs) August 13 Observations
-- [ From: Robert Lunsford * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] --
I cut back to just 4 hours tonight. I needed the extra sleep plus my
back is killing me from those 6 hour sessions on the lounge chair.
George was good enough to let me watch from the observatory roof with
him; away from the bugs and the dirt. I am not really complaining
because his ground floor observing site is much safer than any of the
other sites I use to visit. Anyway, rates were down a good 1/3 to 1/2
from the previous night. Gone also was a majority of the fireball
activity. I am interested in George's rates for the night as he seemed
to be seeing a lot of activity that went unnoticed by me. We had the
same general field of view except later in the morning I shifted
further eastward to take in some of the activity occurring in Taurus
and surrounding regions.
