I’ve taken on the roll of Observing Coordinator for my local astronomical society, Macclesfield AS. And I would like to hold regular meteor observing sessions, beginning with the Persieds on August 12th.Where can I get hold of, the report forms which Neil used to send, and whom do I send my observations to?I am a member of the BAA meteor section, but I have not done anything with the section, for some time because of the poor British weather.Can some body help me please?RegardsPaul Anthony Brierley.

Hi Paul,A quick look at the Meteor Section webpages reveals that John Mason is acting Director. He would be the person to ask as to where your reports should be sent. I also note that they have a ‘Report Form’ Excel Spreadsheet available for download. Things have moved on a bit since I used to send my paper MeteorReports to George Spalding years ago!Cheers,Gary

Hi Paul,there is the Excel report form at:/images_old/stories/sections/meteor/MeteorSectionReportBlank.xlsand also a scan of the old printed form at:http://www.britastro.org/meteor/images/report.gifJohn Mason is the current (acting) director of the section, and reports should be sent to him. Postal address and other contact details are in the back of the BAA Journal.Clear skies,Callum

Hello Callum,I have saved the excel report from. And will hopefully organise a meteor watch on Thursday August 12 with members from my local astronomical society. Thank you for the web links.
