(meteorobs) I need help planetarium in building
Hi
I`m subscriber of your mailing list . I`m also an observer of the meteors. I`d like
to consult you about the construction of the planisphere for the Planetarium (we can
allow only 5-meters in diameter). What kind of materials can we use? Sorry for such a
special non meteoritic question.
And another question. Where can I read any publications about the meteors and how can
I learn about counting the radiant, geographical site of the meteor(longitude and
etc?), and angular velocity?
thanks
Tanya, Gomel, Belarus
