(meteorobs) Meteor Plotting Charts



Greetings
 
Further to my posting of a few days ago, I think I may have found an answer to my particular plotting chart problem in the form of the Guide 7 star charting program. This program has Gnomic projection as one of its options and seems to produce very good charts using this projection. I used them last Thursday, the last time I had some clear weather, and they seem to be correct or at least as my mediocre plotting skills are able to determine. Has anyone else used this program to generate meteor plotting charts? If not would it be useful if I produced a series of plotting charts using the program (if someone would give me a set of standard field centres) and put them on a WEB page as a series of PDF files? Perhaps the IMO WEB site could also host them although if you as a group think this is a good idea I will ask them specifically. As promised I will post my obervations of this month soon (only two nights so far, the weather has turned particularly awful the last few days).
 
Clear, Dry skies to you all
