> Dear meteor enthusiasts,
>
> A large number of observers have sent in their full Leonid
> reports already. We are most grateful to all the contributors.
> We are currently working on the full utilization of data to
> provide a more accurate ZHR profile soon.
>
> The main goal of the campaign is the comparison of model
> predictions with the observed peak time and level. We are talking
> about an accuracy of a few minutes in peak time. The observed
> peak time CANNOT BE FOUND IF YOU REPORT long observing periods.
> You ask the IMO "When was the peak" and send in 15-minute
> periods?
>
> When you prepare your Leonid report, please use the smallest
> possible bins for the meteor counts AND the magnitude distribu-
> tions. Even if they are 1-minute bins with few meteors - why
> losing information?
>
> Best wishes and thanks again for your great observing efforts!
