(meteorobs) Summary Data: Orionids-1998



Greetings all,

    Well, here's my second attempt at emailing tables... I did them in Excel first and than cut and pasted them into my email..  Hope they go thru formatted and tabbed.  I decided to not to observe last night.. After being sleep deprived for 30+ hours, and after a night great rock & roll last night, I just didn't have the energy.
     Below are my data for my night of observing with Bob Lunsford..
