Hi John,
I know a couple people in that area you might be able to hook up with for
some observing. They are not online so email me if you are interested.
Also,
you might consider joining the North American Meteor Network. It is an
internet-based observing group with about 140 members. Membership is open
to
all experience or interest levels, and is free of charge. I also have a
NAMN
guide to observing I can provide you if you like. It is available
electronically, for free.......
Clear skies!

Hey Mark,
Any info and/or contacts would be most helpful. One of my basic
problems is that I am having trouble
transposing an RA/Decl to a point in the sky. I have definitions for
RA/Decl but can't seem to figure a "specific point
Thanks
