Re: (meteorobs) Meteor Hunt of June 27/28 ---Need Advice!



Hi Mark,
         Please, by all means, post any and all of your observations here on
meteorobs.  That is the primary function of this list and those of us who
don't get to observe (anymore!) enjoy reading your posts!

Clearest of night time skies to ya,
Kim Youmans
