Re: (meteorobs) Aug. 14 Brief Observation
Actually, that was an excellent starter's report, Laurie! You managed to get
the MOST IMPORTANT information in, even if your session was too short: you
noted the Limiting Magnitude (once you get down the IMO method for measuring
this, it gets a lot easier!), you noted your exact observing period, you
determined shower vs. non-shower meteors, and you even managed to start
estimating your meteor magnitudes...
You are well on your way to collecting valuable data while you watch! And don't
feel bad if your schedule and weather don't always cooperate! Just get a little
more time under the sky this Summer and Fall, whenever you can. You'll be an
"Olde Salte" answering meteor questions here on the list in no time. :)
Clear skies, and keep in touch!
