Aims & Objectives

Collection of visual, telescopic, photographic, video and radio observations of meteor activity on a routine basis, at all times of the year and not only when major shower activity is expected. The data add to a long-term archive of information covering activity, allowing long-term trends to be studied. Photographic and video observations yield valuable positional and orbital data. The Section also collects fireball reports for the British Fireball Survey (originally a joint exercise with the now defunct Artificial Satellite Section)

Other Officers
Assistant Director Dr John Mason
Telescopic Coordinator Chris Hall
Scotland/North England contact Brian Kelly
Central England contact Dr Colin Steele
Photographic Fireball Patrol Len Entwisle
Committee member George Spalding
Publications

A Section Newsletter is produced occasionally, as volume of results and forthcoming projects demands.

Meetings Held occasionally at points around the UK. Since 1991, we have met in Edinburgh, Leeds, Northampton, Cambridge (twice), and at the Winchester Weekend.
