Re: (meteorobs) Re: A Surprise November Meteor Shower?
Thanks Robert! I wish to farther thank you for the information you sent to me
about observing meteors. Actually I thought I was a sophisticated observer, at
least among the amateurs that I have associated with over the last 50 years, but
since joining the meteorobs I realize that I have been operating in the dark. I am
old enough that I don't think I will be observing meteors for many years, but I am
changing my style as a result of your suggestions. I have observed meteors with
four different large astronomy clubs over the years and have found them all
ignorant about the techniques of observing meteors. Thanks again.
