(meteorobs) Qwik ZHR calculations for Peak Timing
Hi All,
I have done a crude ZHR calculation for my observations, for what it's
worth. 2 Clear peaks emerged. I did 2 sets of calculations, with r=2.0 and
r=2.5. These are based on a moving 15 minute bin. Using smaller bins would
of course create much higher ZHR's at the peaks. Be aware that observations
ended at Nautical Twilight at 10:45 UT. The purpose is not to give ZHR's
but rather to determine the timing of peaks. Other than the 10:27 peak,
which is +/- 2 minutes, the others are +/- 5 to 10 minutes.

A few other less significant peaks were at

Just throwing it out there.....
