(meteorobs) FWD from GeoZay: Meteor Plotters Needed Sep12


In case non-NAMN members on the list had been wondering what the Tri/Ari 
discussion was about, here's a message which got bounced from the list (To: line 
too long) a while back. Sorry for the delay getting this out to you!!

Subject: Meteor Plotters Needed Sep12

METEOR PLOTTERS FOR POSSIBLE TRIANGULUM/ARIES RADIANT NEEDED

Last year in Sky and Telescope it was hinted that there may be a new minor
shower radiant in the vicinity of Triangulum and Aries.  This possible new
shower was brought to notice by NAMN members Gary Kronk and George Gliba.
 The apparent peak nite is on Sept. 12th.  Confirmation and radiant position
is still undetermined.  In an effort to help resolve both of these questions,
NAMN is calling for meteor plotters everywhere to make a concerted effort
during the period of Sept. 10 thru 14th with special emphasis on the nite of
Sept 11/12 to plot all meteors observed. I recommend all observers to center
their field of view to about 30 degrees from the Triangulum/Aries region and
note time, magnitude and apparent speed (1-5 scale) along with their plots as
well Limiting Magnitude star counts.  

I realize only a few NAMN members are experienced at plotting, but those who
aren't may want to give it a try.  If interested, please contact me as soon
as possible.
