(meteorobs) Orionid Report Errata Oct. 20/21
My report from October 20/21 (sent from my other, easier-to-edit but less-often-checked e-mail and graciously forwarded to the list by Lew), contained the following highly suspect meteor data:
> METEOR DATA:
> SPEED
> # SHOWER MAG (1-5) Notes
> 37.5 ORI 5 2 near point
> 87.5 SPO 2 4
I want to assure everybody that I did not actually see two half-meteors here; in fact, the numbers should be 37 and 87. I was just using the decimals as a mnemonic device in my spreadsheet so that I would remember where I started a new observing interval. And then I forgot to take them out before sending the report!
Also, this report is slightly different than the quick preliminary one I sent immediately following observations. For that one, I read 2 Epsilon Geminids twice and spaced two sporadics, so this one is correct. Ah, the wonders of sleep deprivation!
