(meteorobs) Orionid Observations from NJ



Below is a brief summary of my Orionid period observations from New Jersey 
at the NJAA. Without the Orionid peak, I certainly would not have observed 
the first two nights, since the corrections to ZHR are so large, but it was 
the peak nights! Columns are

Date
Solar Longitude
ORI= number of Orionids
Teff
LM
RE= Leonid radiant elevation for center of observing period
NO= Non Orionid meteors including NTA,STA,EGE, SPO, and during the last two 
periods only, Leo Minorids
AZHR= Approximate ZHR based on r=2.9 , with LM correction based observed 
LM, not the "distance from LM" method
I include them only because it was fun, certainly with the poor LM and 
limited meteor counts the error bars would be quite large! Moon phase was 
39% the first night, 28% the 2nd night, and negligible the last night. Most 
non Orionids (and some Orionids) were plotted. Full meteor reports are 
being completed and will be sent to NAMN, AMS, and IMO shortly.
