(meteorobs) Meteor Report March 2/3, 1998 ZAYGE
Below is an example of my most recent meteor report so that the new
people can get an idea as to what a filled out Meteor report looks like.
Hopefully it prints out on everyone's monitor okay? When I email my
reports to Rainer Arlt, I first print it all on "NotePad". When he receives
it, it usually looks somewhat scrambled. But when he prints it out on
paper for use later on, everything corrects itself and looks as I had typed
it.
I had to do some touch up for the purpose that the report will look somewhat
normal on your monitor when you receive it. I won't know if I was
successful or not until after I email it off.
