Re: (meteorobs) Meteor Hunt of November 4/5, 2002!
Rainer mentions below the confusion the term "SKY OBSCURED" may cause. An
earlier version of the NAMN report template used this term, but an updated
template is available in which this is termed "OBSERVING FIELD OBSTRUCTION".
Observers who would like a copy of the new report form may email me directly
or visit our website at:
http://www.namnmeteors.org/namn_form.html
to obtain a copy.
Good luck with the Leonids!!

The SKY OBSCURED may be misleading. It sounds like an observer
should have the entire sky as a field of view. The typical
field, however, in which 98% of the meteors are seen is slightly
larger than 100 degrees in diameter. Only obscuration of this
field should be noted. Could you tell whether you refer to the
entire sky or a field of view with these 20%?
Best wishes,
Rainer
