(meteorobs) Newbie practice observation report
This is my first attempt at submitting a meteor observation in the IMO
NAMN format.
This is not intended as a "real" submission due to the short Teffs and
the poor L.Ms
Instead it is a submission for practice on my part and a request for
feedback.
I would like to get this right before I attempt to observe and record
the Leonids at a useful dark site this November.
Any comments/errors/suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
