Hello,

Just a reminder, tomorrow there is a chance to see some Leonid
activity from very old (but still dense) 1001 trail. Its maximum is to
be at 8:30 UT on 10.11.2005 but activity can last during several hours
around the maximum. Nominal expected value of ZHRmax is 2, but
considering very great age of the trail this value is quite uncertain,
so activity can vary from virtually nothing to something very
observable. Also it is a chance to see Leonids 2005 under moonless
sky. Trail meteors are expected to be dimmer than average in
brightness.

Best regards, Mikhail Maslov
