(meteorobs) Leonids from Spain (Outburst! ZHR 80? )

[Koen Miskotte]

Hi Francisco,
Nice work!
I could observe the Leonids at my hometown Ermelo, the Netherlands. 
Unfortunately I had to deal with many clouds. First I had some short periods 
with clear spells. Between 0:44 and 02:00 UT the sky was almost clear. I saw 
a good number of leonids with some bright ones (up to -1). Limithing 
magnitudes 5,2-5,5. ZHR? I estimated roughly 50-80.

Many regards, Koen

Hello list,

quite a good show from Madrid. High videometeor rates since the 01:30 TU
predicted peak till the end of the night. Similar to Perseids'08, ZHR
70-90? ¡Many negative magnitude Leonids!

¡Hope you enjoy them too!
