METEOR WATCH RECORD?
Following the note on E107, George Alcock advises us that the
'record' refers to 1952 Jan 3 and the watch started 17.50UT and
finished 06.38UT on Jan 4. Deducting interruptions the total watch
was 10 hours 48 minutes during which 154 'Quads' were seen. Does
anyone know of other record watches?

Happy New Year to all our subscribers.
