(meteorobs) Re: Request for previous years' Ursid obs from veteran observers



Rich,

Have you had any luck in acquiring any data? If not check out:

http://www.amsmeteors.org/imo-mirror/visual/vmdb.html

They have records available for downloading going back to 1984. I'll
copy my pre 1988 (which are not included in that list) and send them to
you.

Best Wishes!

Bob
