(meteorobs) Leonid Activity?

[meteoreye at comcast.net]

The Leonid radiant is currently at the very top of the sickle, the Orionids about the middle of the bottom edge of Gemini.

I've actually learned to appreciate an alignment cord so much, I always keep one in my pocket at all times so if I see a casual meteor I can always pull it out. It really allows you to precisely pin down meteor radiants.Yes I'm obsessed, I know :)

However I don't keep it attached to my thumb like I do in the dark when officially observing...they might look at me a little funny if I walked into a resteraunt that way ;)
