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
