Hello,
In the period of 14-20 november I stayed in Orgiva, Andalusia, Spain to observe the expected Leonid outburst. I stayed there with some friends, Michel Vandeputte, Carl Johannink, Peter Bus and Jaap van 't Leven. Also, in the period 18-20 november, Peter Jenniskens stayed also at our location to observe the expected Leonid outburst.
There I could observe during four nights: 14/15-11, 17/18-11, 18/19-11 and 19/20-11.
First night was 14/15-11-2006. A hazy sky with some cirrus in the evening, but after 0 UT sky was clear. Limithing magnitude 6,6 , facing east.
After 3:00 UT de moon rises from behind the trees and rotate my chair 180 degrees in western direction. Best meteor was a -1 Northern Taurid.
Clear sky!
Koen
