magnitude -12 ore -16 (meteorobs)



dear friends, it's only a fwe months,
that I'm watching meteors, and I'm waiting for a big bolid !
How is possible to say that a meteor has a magnitude about
12.0 or -16.0 ? If moon or other bright planets are not
visible, how is possible to estimate a magnitude over
-8.0. What is the referring value to judge a meteorob magnitude
as -9.0 or -10.1 ?

clear skies
