(meteorobs) May 8 Observations
-- [ From: Robert Lunsford * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --
I observed for 4 hours from George's observatory with George. I counted
a total of 44 meteors during the 4 hour session. 16 belonged to the Eta
Aquarid shower. Rates were down a bit from the previous morning. Once
again, nothing brighter than magnitude 0 was seen. Of the 44 meteors, 3
were possible candidates for Norman's Lyrid radiant.
