Is this to say that 518 total Perseids were counted by 10 observers, and
528 by 9 observers, during the two hours mentioned above?? I thought that
combining meteor counts in this manner was considered invalid since the
perception of each observer is different? Are the counts above somehow
normallized to some Lm, and if so, what method was used?
For some reason, I'm starting to feel like GeoZay this morning...
