It might be a good idea, before making the observations, to mark off on the rod, with luminous paint or radium, such as is used with watches, 3°, the distance between the three stars in the belt of Orion; 5°, the distance between the pointers in Ursa Major; 10°, the distance from Alpha to Delta in the same group of stars; 15° from Delta through Alpha; and 26° from Alpha to Eta, at the extremity of the Bear’s tail, or the Dipper handle, according to the popular nomenclature used in America, where the seven stars of the Plough, or Charles’s Wain, are usually referred to as the Great Dipper. Special attention should be given in recording very bright meteors or fireballs. In many cases fireballs may be seen by other persons, and the data supplied by any two observers situated at different places. Their combined observations are sufficient to determine the real path, radiant, etc., of the celestial object. We have a fine illustration of this in the drift of a meteor trail which was observed by Mr. Denning at 7.33 P.M. on February 22, 1909, passing in a southwest direction over the northern coast of France. The luminous trail left in its wake persisted as a visible object for over two hours, during which time it drifted in a northwest direction at 120 miles an hour, under the influence of a violent wind in the upper atmosphere. As usual on every clear starlit night there are a number of enthusiastic observers keeping close watch of the sky, ready to trap with their cameras any unwary meteor which may flash into view. On this occasion there were at least 250 observers in different parts of the country watching the phenomenon during the whole two hours the meteor trail remained visible. There is a branch of the British Astronomical Association which deals with records and observations of meteors, and it is known as the Meteor Section. “Mr. Denning has proved a faithful friend,” as Miss A. Grace Cook remarks in her report of the Section for 1922, “and has encouraged the Section in every possible way.” Sometime one of the enthusiastic observers in search of meteors may be rewarded by a discovery of larger prey, in the form of a comet. Imagine the delight of having a comet one could thus claim, as it were, as one’s own personal property!
