(meteorobs) Leonid Activity?

[Bruce McCurdy]

I got 2+ hours Teff last night. I haven't transcribed my tape yet, but I saw 
2 or 3 Leonids, including a negative magnitude beauty that left a two-second 
persistent train like a temporary sash above Orion's belt that traced right 
back to the radiant in the top of the sickle. I'm pretty sure these were the 
earliest Leonids I've ever seen. Also got a couple of very late Orionids to 
balance the scales. :) Not many Taurids though.
