RE: (meteorobs) LM



It may be worth buying the set of master charts from the IMO. It's only $4, 
and they are still available, I believe....Bob Lunsford will respond to 
that issue I'm sure.
	As far as which stars you count, most people count stars that are seen 
fairly easily with averted vision...in other words, don't spend a minute 
looking for the faintest ones you can possible see. It should represent 
what you can detect easily as you would a meteor, so you don't want to 
struggle to fish out ones that you cannot reliably and regularly see. At 
least that's what I try to do.

Question here!

In estimating the limiting magnitude by counting stars in the known star
squares and triangles,  do you count the   stars that you can only see
by averted vision?

I had hoped to gain some experience with this method before going out to
observe meteors again, but I have been frustrated by hazy skies and poor
charts.  My printer does not do a good job of reproducing them no matter
their source or type.  Its a very old Hp 540 Deskjet.
