Probably the best thing for a beginner to do is to start out noting the

any. <<
I assume you are referring to the major showers and not the minor showers?

quickly!<<
If you are doing minor showers...meteor speed becomes very important.
Also if you are going to claim new shower discoveries...you should at least
learn how to plot and do it routinely. You will notice that often impressions
of what you see are different from what you plot. This could reduce the
clutter of erroneous shower radiants in the long run.
