[AZ-Observing] Re: North Polar magnitude sequence

     Yes, these are the ex-Finnish meteor-observer regions.  They used
to be rather poor because no modern photometry was used (old SAO catalogue
values instead), but I think the major fix has been to adopt Hipparcos/Tycho
data for everything, which is good enough.  The bad part (my opinion)
is that the regions are just too big, and right along the borders you can
include/exclude stars, or not remember just which ones you've seen, and
get a bogus result.  I'd just go for specific stars and skip these.  (YMMV)
