I observed for 2.5 hours Teff this morning, from 10:45-13:18 UT (November 19; 2:45-5:18am PST).  Limiting magnitude was ~6.8.  I saw a total of 83 meteors, including 43 Leonids, 5 Taurids, 3 Alpha Monocerotids and 32 sporadics.  30 of the Leonids (and 50 total meteors) came in the last half of the session, from 12:01-13:18 UT.  Sequential 15-minute breakdowns (number of Leonids) went as follows:
3, 4, 2, 2, 2, 5, 7, 8, 6, 4

Leonids were fainter on average than on November 16/17, with none in negative magnitudes.  Full summary will come later.
