Re: (meteorobs) Re: NWM1999Nov17/18 Leonids good at end
Norm,
Your rates correlate almost perfectly with the rates we saw from the mountains
of Central Virginia! I guess all the observing that we did together during the 1970's
is still transcending the decades where we have not been able to do much observing
together. We also had a total lack of fireballs. Therefore, I am a bit jealous of your
lovely -6! In Astronomical Affinity - Felix
