Re: (meteorobs) Oct. 18 Observations
Bob's report (an excellent one - thanks, Bob!) brought up a question on the
recent thread about plotting: namely, if you INTENTIONALLY keep yourself from
knowing the radiant positions for the active showers during an evening so you
can plot, then what happens if the activity suddenly makes you want to switch to
counting method in mid-session??
Imagine: You're out under the sky, no longer plotting, and the active radiant(s) are at
best just broad areas of the sky to you. What do the olde saltes do in this
case? Carry a chart with the radiants plotted on it, but carefully tucked away
in a black box, until you decide you need it?
Another curious semi-newbie question,
Lew
