Electronic visual report form

Introduction

The form below validates and submits data for entry in the IMO visual meteor database. For instructions on filling out a visual report form, please consult the observing instructions on this website or the

hints for the electronic form.

Note that in the case of high meteor activity, you should report short intervals to allow for detailed analysis. As a rule of thumb, try to avoid intervals with more than 10 shower meteors and magnitude distributions with more than 30 meteors. To submit a large number of intervals, you may customize the layout or submit multiple forms.
