Hmmmmm. This could point to differences in the way you and Bob 'define'
your Lm. On the other hand, I also know that Bob sees more meteors than
you when you are observing together, which could indicate that part of
the difference in Lm is 'real' and just a matter of differences in eye
sensitivity that are normal between people. It is obvious, that there is
no simple explanation for the topic you raised. Interresting!
