Re: (meteorobs) Leonid Reports
Hi Chris,
Sorry to hear of your difficulties during the maximum...I was looking
forward to reading the results of your experiment!!
I will be happy to share what data we collect. As you may have noticed from
the reports arriving on our list, the large majority of what we received is
not in 1-minute bins. But once all the data is archived, my plan is to go
back through it looking for the reports that are. I have had several people
express an interest in obtaining it. Currently, we have over 45,000 Leonids
reported in 270+ hours Teff.

Mark, I wonder if it might be possible for me to obtain some portion of the
data you receive. If you have been following my tale, you may recall that I
am attempting to resolve some questions regarding the spatial distribution
of Leonids. My own experiment was a dismal failure, but I might be able to
derive some useful results from reports that give meteor counts with a
resolution of one minute. I have been collecting such reports as have
appeared on this list, but should you have a more complete collection, I
would be greatly obliged if you could somehow make that available to me.
