(meteorobs) Nov., 16/17 2015 Leonid/Taurid obs from North Florida - LEOs pushing 20/hour!

[Paul Jones]

Thanks Michel and all for the reports (both positive and negative).  Sounds
like all was pretty much as normal for the LEOs on the 17/18 morning.  Now
let's see what they have up their sleeve for that possible 22/23
enhancement.  The almost Full Moon will make for a short dark observing
window on that morning however.  Still, weather permitting, I'll be
checking them out.  Good luck to all.

Clear skies, Paul J
