(meteorobs) Quadrantids
I have been planning to not only observe the Quandrantids but also to
take useful data. It looked so good. The moon does not rise till after
morning twilight begins and the ZHR of around 100. But the duration is
short, less than a day. The maximum is to occur at 5 or 6 UT depending
on the source of the information. However I will be observing from a
site 7.75 hours West of the Prime Meridian and only 33o North Latitude.
This means that at the time of maximum about 9 or 10 PM PST the radiant
will be below the horizon, and for some time thereafter for all
practical purposes. Now my question is, what is my most practical
strategy for collecting the most useful data. I cannot observe for
any 11 hours. Please reply or I may wait for a more favorable
shower. Robert
