[AZ-Observing] Re: Preliminary Results from Mt. Lemmon

     Note that this appears to be an "all-sky" count for seven observers.
Thus the one-person rate peaked at something like 350/hour, and since the
peak shown ("only" 2400/hr) lasted only 10 minutes, averages over longer
spans would reduce the number further.  The 9:55 UT peak certainly didn't
happen, and my impression was that activity keep rolling pretty steadily
at least until 5am (12h UT) at 600/hr (10 per minute---no problem).
     I also note on the AMS plot that the Mt Lemmon group also show a
"sproadic" rate with a sharp peak at ~100/hour, i.e. as good as the best 
Geminid or Perseid displays.  Somebody please tell us that's nonsense.
     Is it just my jaded curmudgeonly outlook on the world that made me
me think this event was "pretty good" but a long way from being a spectacle?
