Scientific paper

A description is presented of the procedures followed by amateur astronomers in West Germany in connection with photographic meteor observations, taking into account as example a specific case involving a bright meteor. Simultaneous observations from two stations were planned. The use of a third station is desirable for the determination of parameter data in cases in which the flight path of the meteor is located in the relative azimuthal direction of the first and second station. The equipment of each station consists of at least three suitable cameras, films, and a digital quartz watch. Attention is given to observational details, brightness, the conducted measurements, radiant determination, the path of the meteor in the atmosphere, the extraterrestrial orbit, and general meteor orbit characteristics.
