(meteorobs) GEM Observations East GA 12-14/15-2003
Here is my report for last night's backyard observation. The R value for
the second period was quite high, even without the -5 that slipped behind
the trees in the south. Although my LM was rather sad, just 5.15, with the
trees constricting my FOV, I had an enjoyable and memorable 2 hours of teff,
seeing 28 GEM's the first hour and 22 the second, a total of 58 meteors with
the eight SPO's thrown in.
