Speaking for ALPO, I would encourage observers to make notes on sporadic
activity. Lew is absolutely correct that minor shower activity can be
lost during major showers, especially if one is recording data on tape.
If activity is not too hectic then it would be advisable to plot non-
shower meteors or at least describe the flight path and speed on tape
for further reference.
