(meteorobs) EXPRESS REPORT: Pierre Martin Nov 17/18, 2001
Here is my quick express report for the Leonids. Periods are in 15
minutes except for near the peak (last 2.5 hours local time when I
use periods of 5 minutes).
Please note that a standard report including more detailed counts and
magnitude distributions will follow soon. Narrative report will come
later on...
