Re: (meteorobs) East GA Lyrids

I've already deleted Javor report, but do recall that he had a sky LM in the neighborhood of 6.7. This will bring his ZHR down a little. I also deleted Wes's, but I believe he also had a sky LM above 6.5? When I read their reports, it seemed that a guesstimated ZHR would be around 10 to 15? I get the impression that they had a "normal" year.

the 4.7 hours I observed. All in all, I observed 50 meteors, 26 of
which were LYRs. <<
Kim's average for a Lyrid meteor was about one for every 10.8 minutes. This is about what I recall seeing in past years. His LM was close to what I would normally have under moonless skies in the S. calif. mountains.
