Re: (meteorobs) NAMN Notes: July 1999
mark>>For the positions of these meteor radiants
on any given night, check out the IMO website at www.imodot net, under their
meteor calendar. It gives positions of all showers all year long, at 5 day
intervals.<<
I haven't checked the IMO website yet, but I believe it's the same meteor
calendar that was recently sent out? If it is, you will notice that there are
some gaps to the 5 day intervals thru out the year....particularly from
February thru May. Then it stays somewhat true until the last 10 days of the
year. No big deal unless you are a new observer and happened to observe
during these periods. It might cause a little confusion then, but as to
reducing the effectiveness of determining whether any particular meteor is a
shower member or not, it shouldn't cause too much of a problem.
