(meteorobs) Observations November 16/17 from Oregon

[Wesley Stone]

It looked like it might be foggy, but most of the fog had frozen off by morning.  A little bit of it hung around, along with some thin cirrus, to barely lower the limiting magnitude.  Leonid activity was mediocre but bright.  Sporadic activity was dismal.  I experienced a 22-minute barren period during the first interval.  Highlights were a -2 violet Leonid and a -1 red Leonid that left a twisting 20-second train.
