Re: Re[2]: (meteorobs) PERSEIDS Aug 11/12 from Central California
In a message dated 97-08-21 06:19:22 EDT, you write:
<< What did he have in mind?? Obviously a novice can't be expected to
provide a researcher with accurate meteor plots for, let's say, radiant
determination. However, is it unreasonable to think that a group of
educated and motivated (novice) observers could provide a researcher with
"ballpark" plots so that, later, these plots could be used to time
stamp meteors caught on photograph? In such case, plots do not need to
be
100% expertly accurate... right? >>
Wouldn't it then be a less of a waste of time to just describe the meteor
into a tape recorder w/ the usual information adding the meteor's appearance
and disappearance marks. I don't know - just my $.02.
