No changes have been made to formatting here... Eric, you may want to
try using flat text and spaces in place of tabs on your report emails!

Subject: Report for May 8/9
This was my first official viewing session. I welcome comments and
helpful hints to improve my observation and reporting. I tried visual
counting and had the camera set up. I should have gotten one meteor -
if so, I will post the results of that picture.
