(meteorobs) Leonids 11/18 and 11/19 near Kansas City

[KCStarguy at aol.com]

At Powell Observatory, Louisbourg, KS (20 minutes south of Kansas City      )
11/18/2006
12:30-2:45 
clear to 5.5mag
Friday I went out at 12:30 to view the Leonids at Powell. 

There weren't a lot of meteors to see. The best  was a -3 very wide Sporadic 
fireball heading towards constellation Leo, at 12:30. As Clint Eastwood said  
" make my day" and that one was really nice.
Saw only  8 in 1.5 hours ( 5 sporadics and 3 Leonids ) so I was a little 
disappointed in the numbers. 2 had trains. Most were White and faint.

4:30-6:11
11/19/2006
clear to 6.0 mag
Cloudy went to bed and woke up and headed to POwell. Nobody around   not even 
the cat. Saw 9 (7 Leondis and 2 sporadics). Mostly fain 2-4 magnitude but 4 
had nice trains.
That's all folks about that.
