	Dear IMO colleagues,

	A detailed analysis of meteor outbursts could be very interesting in =
the future. We have only one possibility to increase the number of =
potentially observers, a short communication between IMO members using =
mobile phones as has been proposed by Robert Haas. For example we can to =
establish a telephonic chain between some IMO responsibles in different =
countries. Only one call by person could be sufficient to alert a =
increasing team of observers in all Europe!

	I think that more interesting people to form part of the chain are =
experienced IMO members placed out of urban zones. It only requires a =
little organization of the chain.

	In the case of anormal (but moderate) activity of meteor showers I =
think that if we send a short message to IMO list immediately afterwards =
the observation, it could be a good inducement to increase the number of =
observers in the following solar longitudes. An example could be the =
past Lirids, June Bootids, etc...A fine lot of observers informed of =
meteor outbursts can increase the effective time by campaign and, =
consequently, the intrinsic value of the IMO meteor research.

You can also e-mail whit an mobile phone a alert e-mail to imo news
> Yours Robert Haas DMS
[Josep M=AA Trigo i Rodriguez]  Of course!

I think both you and Jurgen are right.
But I agree with Jurgen I will not be sending e-mails when there is a
Leonid-storm in the sky!=20
[Josep M=AA Trigo i Rodriguez]  Of course not!... but a short alert call =
could be sufficient!
Perhaps only one to mark the very beginning of the
outburst but after that we will have to take care for our observations.=20
At the end of the observing session we have plenty of time (...) to send
lots of e-mails to all corners ot the earth. And to publish very first
results on our websites.
[Josep M=AA Trigo i Rodriguez]  Yes, but and if our team is the =
single...and the data are reduced and imcomplete as just now?

 I think that we should use IMO organisation to establish an =
international team of meteor research.
You and I have to be sure the photography and video-systems will be =
running
smoothly at our respective locations. And not only that but we are also =
in
charge for supplying exact timings of possibly photographed bright =
meteors.
So please stick to only one e-mail when you still have some time left to =
do so.
