Re: (meteorobs) NAMN 2001 - A New Direction
I agree with Wes on the Handbook. I met Wes at a recent local astronomy club
meeting and was very intrigued when he showed me some of the info in the
Handbook. If this is not available from NAMN directly that is OK. All I
would ask is info to help me find a copy of this and other resources. Perhaps I
just need to do more web surfing. ;-)
As a newbie to meteor recording I have found the NAMN web page and meteorobs
list to be a helpful and supportive learning environment to getting started.
Thanks,
Dustin Brown.
P.S. The Pacific NW was clouded out for the Geminids :-( Hoping for clear
skies for the Ursids.
