(meteorobs) Call for suggestions re: data collection
To Bob L and others,
Was wondering if you, or anyone else (Rainer, Norman, Jim R, Marco?)
have some ideas/suggestions on observing stratagies (other than standard
IMO/NAMN general guidelines for visual observations) that we (Bob L. and I)
could implement for our upcoming GEMINID CAMPAIGN. More, specifically, ways
of collecting our data so as so more directly address recent meteorobs
"threads"... ways that a highly skilled, highy experienced observer (Bob L)
AND a fairly skilled, though less-experienced observer (myself) could
collect data for cross-comparisons... stuff like inter-observer
variabilty... hypotheses about LM corrections factor... between-observer
differences in perception coefficients...
I was thinking... a simple but interesting question to address..
How well correlated are magnitude estimates, between observers that is??
Ideas anyone??
