Re: (meteorobs) Re: NWM1999Dec 12/13 Geminids Florida
Dear Mike and all,
In the late 70's and early 80's we saw limiting magnitudes between 6.8 and 7.3
on most nights, both from the Everglades and especially our Florida Keys sites. Will
you vouch for this Lew? Having had some recent experience there with the Leonids, I do
believe that looking at your observation reports you had 7.0 + limiting mags. during your observing in South Florida.
