Re: (meteorobs) Observation Report 1/31/00...
Scott, thanks for sending in your report - and it's great to hear that you're
getting out to observe and record meteors again, in spite of the Iowa Winter!
Your report was done perfectly, with the sole exception that tab characters
seemed to creep into your Magnitude Distribution and Limiting Magnitude tables
in place of spaces, misaligning the columns. That's really minor.
BTW, don't be discouraged by your very low rate from this sesion - 2 per hour!
Observing at 9pm as you were, during a very quiet time of the year for meteors
(February is often called "Meteor Winter" by us Top Hemispherers), this is not
unexpectedly low! Keep up the observing and reporting practice in the evenings,
and also remember that if your family will allow you to observe after midnight,
your hourly Sporadic (and shower) rates should go WAY up.
Clear skies, Scott!
