Re: (meteorobs) Meteor Elevation Estimates
Lew's comments pretty much run with mine....at least somebody got it :->
I also am concerned about making it too much work. As pointed out in the
recent IMO observer survey, most people leave the hobby after a several
years. Now while a looney toon like me is more than happy to pile up all
these tasks, others might find that recording 10 items for each meteor is
too onerous. So while we must insist on those basic items such as Mag,
shower and time, we can only encourage others to add more detailed
information, lest we lose an observer for good. As I've been out selling
observing to the public, when it starts to sound too much like work, people
lose interest.
Now after we have them hooked.....heh,heh,heh
