Re: (meteorobs) East GA Lyrids

Yes, I didn't feel my rates were strong; rather, pretty normal and even lower than I really expected during the first two hours. My LM was 6.7-6.8.  The only remarkable things were the clear skies (I've observed 2 previous Lyrid maxes and one post-max night; the 2 maxes were somewhat hindered by weather conditions) and the bright meteors, which seem to be the luck of the draw. I'm usually not very lucky in that regard. In 2002, my only full hour had 19 Lyrids.  I considered that a "strong" rate.

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
