Some of you may have been surprised when they read about more than
300 Perseids in the Sky Telescope article I mentioned last night:

America indicate the maximum zenithal hourly rate (ZHR) topped out at

Hi Mike and all,
The Meteorite.com site, specifically at the Meteorite Times spot, has a lost
and stolen page for people to view. I think it is always a good idea to
announce it here and post it on the Meteorite.com site.

Hi All,
Just a quick correction. Actually Greg reported some 20-25 meteors per hour
witnessed with a TOTAL night of watching at 183 meteors seen.
That is much less though than the 100 or more per hour that my friends and I
saw in 1993, but still very impressive indeed. Alsoeven more
It would be nice if everyone would photograph all of the material they
purchase. Then if it went missing, it would help identify it. I believe
everyone on this list is honorable and do not want to purchase lost, stolen ,
or illegal to export material. The wonderful thing about meteorites is the

to put up for sale several kilograms of Indo-China tektites from Vietnam and
Cambodia. The price will be 35 cents a gram for small ones under 2cm, 45 cents
a gram for ones up to 6cm and 50 cents a gram for tektites
I am in the crazy newcomer mode of buying. My wife found a slice in a
small box in the garbage yesterday, because she wanted the box for
Christmas gifts. I had thrown it away.
That was a wake up event I live out beyond the crackheads and
such, so I don't have to worry about theft much. My
went missing does not necessarily mean stolen. There are many posts here on the
list of samples being lost in the mail during shipping or air travel. All of
the events are unfortunate. Provenance and photos facilitate recovery. Cheers!

A few people have commented privately about the length of exposure of the image.
I know Dave was using an equatorial mount for his camera. I don't know the
particulars, but my guess is that he made one image of the dome and then
combined that with several tracked images of the sky with the

For the record, let me clearly state - I do NOT buy meteorites from

If you are photographing your entire collection you might as well put a scale

Hi Steve, Thanks. Didn't know that there were so many different sizes of
scale cubes. Kinda seemed like it would be confusing. If they're not
labeled then it would matter a lot. I've seen scale rules and other
type scale objects, and they're always labeled in increments.

Hi Eric.
We had this discussion some time ago. The is no standard. A scale cube (or
anything else) is meant to show scale. Period. A 1cm cube may be useful for
much of the meteorite photography that is made of smaller samples, up to
several hundred grams, but once you start photographing

Of course that should have read if you *can't* see the scale on the cube...

Thanks Richard! That explains it very well. I guess technically if you
have a photo of the Space Shuttle with a 10 foot scale cube next to it,
that would make more sense than a 1CM cube! As long as they have obvious
markings stating size of the cube, and those marking are visible in the
photo.
Hi Rex, Never knew there were no standards in scale in scientific
photography. The scale cubes with hash marks are good, so long as people
use them correctly in their photos. Thanks for explaining it. Cubes are
MUCH better to use than coins. By the way, I wasn't downing your cubes,
