(meteorobs) My Perseid Campaign Efforts ZAYGE
Well Bob, Peter et.,
I'm just about finally wrapping up all there is for my Perseid campaign. It
seems like there is still something left to do before I can call it all
documented and to move on. Anyhow...here are my campaign statistics just for
grins:
I had 11 nites that I was able to gather data on...plus 1 nite that I lost
all data due to a faulty tape recorder. Also not included is one nite that
the clouds never cleared and I ended up spending the nite in my cot on top of
the observatory...an effort of 13 nites all together. Of the 11 nites that I
was able to do some observing...I ended up with 44.61 Teff hours of which I
recorded a total of 1300 meteors(definitely doesn't match Marco's tally).
With my two camera's I captured a miserable 8 meteors...none were
spectacular...of which 4 were Perseids, 1 alpha Capricornid, 1 s. Delta
Aquarid and 2 sporadics. Bob...one of those sporadics happens to line up with
one of those areas that we were suspicious about as to being not a
Perseid...but close to the perseid radiant..dot it was on the opposite side of
Cassiopeia that the Perseid radiant is located on peak nite. All photos are
from guided cameras. I still have to make some prints up in the dark room...I
hope to do that, this monday...then I should be all done.
