(meteorobs) Observations Last Night

[James Beauchamp]

Hi Bill.  I didn't see any hits at that time - but sometimes the software doesn't trigger when something is close to the mask.
 
I have to use a mask to prevent trees and car lights reflecting on objects from making fase triggers.
 
I'll check the archives tonight.

I was out between 08:51 UT and 09:51 UT last night (17/18Nov2011).
 
About 20 minutes into the count, facing W with the moon off my left shoulder, I saw a +3 NTA glide through the torso of Orion.
 
Things were slow, no SPO's or anything else, so I decided to try to face ENE - more moon but with he radiant in my FOV.  I used a stick with a small paper plate to block glare.
 
I saw a +4 Leonid.
 
With 2 minutes left before calling it quits (09:49), I saw an estimated -4 Leonid fireball shoot down toward the eastern horizon.  I was glad to see it.
 
James B - it was off to the east from here near Tulsa so I guess no chance you caught it on camera?
 
Bill,
Coweta, OK
