Dear Lew and List Members
Sorry about the errors in the last report, that's what you get for cutting
and pasting data in a hurry, I've posted the correct (I hope) form this
time and again sorry about the mix up and thanks Lew for pointing out the
mistakes, I'll go and stand in the corner for the rest of the day :). Also
I noticed I can't spell exacerbated either.
Cheers and clear skies
David

REMARKS:
Pervasive local light pollution with low pressure Sodium lighting.
Fairly pervasive thin haze giving the very poor sky especially when
this is exacerbated with the local orange light pollution. Quite warm
with little or no wind. (W = WHITE AND OR = ORANGE)
METEOR 1 - PROJECTING THIS BACKWARDS INTERSECTS THE STA RADIANT BUT THE
PATH LENGTH APPEARS TOO SHORT FOR THE DISTANCE FROM THE RADIANT
THIS IS WHY IT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED SPORADIC RATHER THAN AN NTA.
