(meteorobs) Resubmission of fixed Oct.11/12 Meteor report La Crescenta, CA
Hello,
Here's a resubmission of my Oct.11-12 observation report. I fixed a
mistake made yesterday in figuring out my F as well as the alignment problem.
Zeroes were added and I did the report in Notepad. Hopefully it'll line up
for you folks. If not...I'll mail this stuff in! :)
Clear skies,
-SID!
