Geminids Count 2010 (test)

Preliminary results and test of spreadsheet chart for last night's Geminid Meteor Shower.

 

This represents a 48-minute period near midnight my local time (CST, Dallas). Whoops! Just noticed the time is off; it should be 0600 to 0700 UT. I'll correct that when I update the data for the rest of the files.

 

More later ... the raw estimates for 2 to 3 hours later are double to triple these numbers.

 

Method: I digitally recorded the audio from Spaceweather Radio dot com one-half hour at a time, then listened again with headphones and counted the echos for separate 3-minute intervals.
