Re: (meteorobs) Unrealistic ejection model?
Sorry Chris,
I leave for my Leonid trip in 1 hour after I close up the telescope.
A small difference in time of a few minutes makes essentially no difference,
a few days certainly does but that is beside the point. If they don't
have the precise orbital period they can't be meteors in the Earth's
atmosphere.
I questioned whether to send expecting such a response as to express it
more clearly would require time I don't have. It was necessary to at
least make a statement to correct a totally false perception of the nature
of the model. There are the original papers going back to 1985 and
they should be read.
Wishing everyone clear skies and their ZHRs of choice.
Cheers Rob
