Re: (meteorobs) Re: Question
On the contrary, I'm quite excited when I see 4 meteor an hour! BTW,
I've only seen the Milky Way glow once-a few months ago when our
church went camping--we were supposed to go to bed at 12 midnight,
but I stayed up to 3:30AM local time to allow others to fall asleep,
and then snuck out and observed to 4AM due to fagtigue. I hadn't
slept in 20 hours. The LM was ~ 6.5, and IT WAS AWESOME! I was
speechless. I could only identify 1 constellation-Scorpius. Yet the
rate were like other pre-midnight observations. In 0.50 TeFF, I saw
two meteors. I only slept 90 minutes for some reason. I'll ask my
parents about taking a nap to gain extra 'sky time'.
