(meteorobs) Nebulous and very dim ~+6 mag meteors
A followup to my recent post.
As the result of my "observations" of these things
in the Planetarium and the very dim ones in
total darkness I am suspicious of claims of
meteors that are <5 mag.
Perhaps observers could go to their local
planetarium, explain their interest, and request
some time after or between shows. then, after
allowing your eyes dark adaptation under a dark
planetarium sky, try to familiarize themselves
with these phenomena.
