I knew of Kevin Conod when we were both members of another NJ club.
Nothing against him but I feel he's just quoting published info on the meteor
showers. To my knowledge the NJAA is the only org. in the metro NJ/NJ metro
area that are doing any type of serious scientific organized meteor observing.
A distant second is AAI. But all they do is go out on peak night, use 2
station photography to shoot an area adjacent to the radiant and hope that a
meteor shows up on both films. To my knowledge in the 5 or 6 years they have
one meteor under their belt. As a matter of fact one of the photographs was
mine (a Lyrid). This was before I learned how to scientifically observe
meteors here. They weren't interested in doing things any different so I left
for the NJAA.
