(meteorobs) Opik



Chris,
 
I dont see any way around the high rate problem and Opik's method. It depends on the ability of the observer to differentiate one meteor from another (as the data is logged) and the analyst to correlate the data from multiple observers(identifying discreet events). Shoooting from the hip I think this would put an upper limit of a shower rate of a few hundred per hour.
Employing a counting method with a magnitude limit of , say 0 mag or brighter , might be one way around it. That opens up another can of worms though.
