Hi all
Observed very casually - 2 people - (while also taking turns at
observing comets) from 3:00 am till 5:20 am local time 20th nov ( 16:30
- 18:50 19th nov UT ) at a dark sky site - 400 metres- average at
zenith LM 6.5-6.8 prior to twilight commencing
- and only saw maybe 5 Leonids in entire time, one of them was a point
meteor centred in the radiant - only two were bright meteors as well
- did seem to be some activity from near the zenith from the Pi Puddids
area - particularly 4 very similar short white ones heading NE and NNE
-
-at least 5 sporadics of which one was a bright point meteor next to
Corvus.
-Didnt notice any Taurids or AMO's this year either which is a first
for me -
