Does the  filament have a 
known radiant, or should one just use the radiant of the  date? Also, and I 
know this is covering old territory, but how far below  the horizon can the 
radiant be and still produce possible  meteors?



The filament should very closely correspond to the  traditional Leonid 
radiant (within the Sickle of Leo).  I have always felt  that when the radiant is 
below the horizon . . . even just below it . . . that  observed meteor activity 
is practically nil.
