NOTES:
a-I OBSERVED 80 DEGREES FROM THE NORTHEASTERN HORIZON.
b-I DO NOT KNOW THE FORMULA FOR F.
c-UNTIL I BECOME FAMILAR WITH THE STAR CHARTS, I AM GOING TO OBSERVE A CERTAIN
OBVIOUS CONSTELLATION AND SEE WHAT IS THE FAINTEST STAR I CAN SEE. THAT WILL
BE MY ESTIMATED LM. CAS=CASSIOPEIA, ORI=ORION, AND CYG=CYGNUS.
-------------------------------------------------------
COMMENTS:
1.MY OBSERVATION WORKED EXACTLY AS IT WAS DESIGNED ON THE BLUEPRINTS, BUT NO
METEORS OCCURED. THE ONLY THING I WILL HAVE TO WRITE IS IF I SEE A
FIREBALL(FILL OUT THE REPORT FORM, 2-3 MINUTES), AND MY ESTIMATED LM.
CURRENTLY I HAVE 420MB ON MY HARD DISK, AND FOR EVERY HOUR OF RECORDING IT
TAKES UP 15MB. SO, I JUST HAVE TO FILL OUT REPORT FORMS THE NEXT DAY AND
ERASE THE RECORDING.
-------------------------------------------------------
QUESTIONS:
1.MARK DAVIS OR GEORGE ZAY, CAN YOU PLEASE COMMENT ON MY RECORDING INVENTION?
I'M SORRY IF I SOUND TOO PROUD!
