Radio meteor detection - Feb 2021

Post by JochenM »

A fairly even/uneventful month as far as meteor detections go. Will probably stay that way until the Lyrids in April.

Hi Jochen,

Well done and yes nothing spectacular in February and March seem to be even worse according to Meteor News.

Which program do you use for making those graphs ? Which file do you use ¿ RMOB_YYYYMM ?

Thanks Rainer


regards Rainer

Hey Rainer.

It's a simple spread sheet graph (LibreOffice Calc). I take the monthly .dat file indeed, feed it into a spread sheet as comma separated data (so ending up with three columns of data).

After that, just insert a graph. Column 1 (date/time) populates the X-axis, column 3 (the hit count) goes to the Y-axis and that's it.

Ah, OK. I was a bit confused about the first column with the data YYYYMMDD## ... I guess they included the numbering after the date of each day and only so it is possible to make a clear X horizontal axis.

Will try it. I do use OpenOffice

Thanks Rainer

Welcome to the club, Jochen :)

Yes, February (and March as Rainer also says) are quiet months, but at least you’re up and running.
