Hi all;

I was thinking about doing a simulation run to find out the frequency of
seeing a pointer meteor (one that runs along your line of sight and appears
not to have any angular motion).  I was wondering what folks on the list
thought would be a reasonable upper limit to the angular extent of motion.
I was thinking maybe 3 arc-minutes (one-tenth the diameter of the moon)?
Should it be less?

Thanks... Pete
