                    LYRIDS 2004, VISUAL


Reports from only 21 observers have been received reporting
about the activity of the 2004 Lyrids. A first ZHR profile
was constructed from these data. The maximum time is near
April 22.0 and is a few hours earlier than the average max-
imum time of the last decade. The contributors are:

ADEHA   Harshil Adesara (India; not used)
BANAN   Ana Bankovic (Serbia)
CERAN   Ana Cernok (Serbia)
GLIGE   George W. Gliba (USA)
KACJA   Javor Kac (Slovenia)
KOTMA   Marija Kotur (Serbia)
KULRI   Rishikesh Kulkarni (India; not used)
MASMI   Mikhail Maslov (Russia)
MILIV   Ivan Milic (Serbia)
MISKO   Koen Miskotte (Netherlands)
MOLSI   Sirko Molau (Germany)
PAWNI   Nikhil Pawar (India; not used)
PUNNI   Nilesh Puntambekar (India; not used)
SAVBR   Branislav Savic (Serbia)
STOWE   Welsey Stone (USA)
TAIRI   Richard Taibi (USA)
VANMC   Michel Vandeputte (Belgium)
VELKR   Kristina Veljkovic (Serbia)

The ZHR was comuted by ZHR = nLYR*r^(6.5-LM)/(sin hR * Teff)
where r = 2.1, LM is the limiting magnitude, hR is the
radiant elevation and Teff is the effective observing time.

The data by the group from India delivered ZHRs which are
2-3 times higher than those of the other observers. They
have been excluded for this preliminary analysis.
