[Koen Miskotte]

Hi all,
Here are my observations done 17/18-11-2006 from a site near Orgiva , Andalusia, Spain.
After a clear 14/15-11-2006 we had heavy cirrus cover on 15/16-11 and heavy cloudcover and rain on 16/17-11. 
Sky cleared on the 17th november. Indeed , we had a magnificent clear sky that night. Limithing magnitude up to 6.8!
Humidity was low, temperature about 5 Celcius. In the morning the zodiacal light was easily visible.
Leonid activity seemed normal, except a jump in activity around 2:00 UT. After that declining activity.
At the start of this session I saw a very slow moving -2 sporadic meteor. Also a number of -1 and 0 magnitude Leonids and Taurids are seen.
Regards,
Koen
