(meteorobs) Video Observations from Southern CA, November 19, 2009

[Robert Lunsford]

Fog rolled in shortly after dusk last night and it looked like the night would be a total loss. Around 10pm PST (6 UT) the cloud 
cover began to thin and stars began to appear. It was partly cloudy until 4am, when the wind shifted to the east and blew all the 
clouds out to sea. Only the last 85 minutes had completely clear skies. Still, it can be deduced that the Leonid activity was down 
for a second night in a row and that the morning of the 17th was definitely the best for Leonid watchers.
