[Roberto Haver]

Hi,
This night the activity of the Leonids has been high with a possible ZHR between 60 and 100. 
Many luminous meteors confirmed also from the recordings video mine and of a my friend with which I make triangolations.
My friend has recorded fireball a Leonid of -12 to the 03h56m31s! 
These are my visual observations:
