Re: (meteorobs) US Limiting Magnitudes Needed!

In order to calibrate this model, Steve is interested in getting averaged
"best
night" LM estimates from experienced observers throughout the US. I've
offered
to collect historical IMO-type LM estimates from meteor observers here, and
reformat them for Steve's use.<<
I'm curious if he is gonna average LM's from different people from the same
location? For example, I routinely can only get 6.0 up to a best 6.2 on rare
occasions. While sitting right next to me, Lunsford will get something like
6.4 to 7.2 at the same time. I think he's gonna have to deal with a spread of
about 1 magnitude?
Lew>>So if you'd like to help with this very significant research, and you
keep your
IMO report forms in electronic format, send them along to me! Steve hasn't
specified a time horizon for this data, but I assume that anything from
clear,
moon-dark skies. >>
I email my reports to Rainer and as soon as he informs me that he received
them okay, I delete it from my computer.
