re: (meteorobs) Question
Jonathan, that is a time when a tape recorder would be essential. If you
talk real fast, you can get a lot of information in. During a truely great
storm, with rates even higher than that, some information might have to be
deleted in order to fit it all in, but that would be very rare. It is good
to think about that now, so if that should occur for the Leonids in 1998 or
1999 we will be prepared. I would expect that during October of 1998, we
will be distributing special instructions for handling that situation in
the manner that the IMO suggests. Let's hope that rates are that high and
we have to worry about it. Wouldn't that be fun!!!

In 1966, the Great Leonid storm occured. In the material that I have read
on
the storm, at the max. people recorded 1000+ meteors per hour. There are
3600
seconds per hour. If you saw 1000 meteors per hour, that would give you
3.6
seconds to record everything. How do you record during storms like this?
