(meteorobs) FWD: New Subscriber Biography
Welcome, Peter! It sounds like you'll have many experiences to share with the
list, BOTH of the "new observer" kind (from your students) and as an experienced
observer! I've signed you up for the digest instead of the main list, too...

Lew,
Thanks for the welcome and yes the "digest" version sounds perfect. Please
sign me up. Here's a short bio.
My name is Peter Detterline and I'm a planetarium director with the
Boyertown School District in Pennsylvania. I teach classroom astronomy as
well to middle school, high school and college students. I've been an
amateur astronomer since 11th grade and have worked with a lot of different
areas from photometry to meteors. I have my students go out in major meteor
showers to do some observing and "catch the fever". As a member of the
astronomical league, I've been following their meteor program (ALPO forms)
and sending them out to Robert Lunsford - who's been encouraging and a great
help. Since I started that program with the Orionids last year I've
recorded 360 meteors.
My interest is in furthering my meteor studies with techniques that I
can use with my students and that can also be a help to you guys. Interests
lie anywhere from dust to radio to photography.
Peter
