(meteorobs) Leonid Meteor Storm 2032

[Catlin]

Hi Mark, thanks for the kind invite - I'll take you up on that.

It seems appropriate to be in USA for the storm as the most famous
woodcut picture of the great Leonid meteor storm in 1833 printed by the
seven-day-Adventists is etched on my mind for eternity. I'm no artist
but I plan to try and get something similar down on canvas this
Christmas. May do a local one that occurred here in 1998, or a copy of
the woodcut. 

Astro art in general is cool, but I can't get the amount of false color
used clear in my mind. How much of space is grey/black and could there
be a color(s) that we have not experienced before involving an element
other than light?  

What type of skies are the norm for you in mid November?

I see on the Atlas that you are near Augusta - the US Masters held in
May is one of my favourite sporting events of the year.

Clear skies and here's to the next 25 years of meteorobs.

>>>Secondly, I can't wait until I'm 73 years old and the Leonid storm
arrives in 2032 - I will be able to travel anywhere on Earth to observe
the storm, as my interest in alcohol, women and song will be on the
decline, no boring job to attend and my pension will ensure complete
freedom.<<<

In 2032 I'll be 75, retired, and on a pension too. I'm inviting you to
stop 
by for some meteors, alcohol and song. Can't make any other promises!
