(meteorobs) Leonids in the morning of Nov 23th

[Paul Jones]

Hi Michel,
      I was sorta able to get out briefly on that morning up on the meteor
roof here in St. Augustine and although my conditions were not really good
enough to make a report, my results were very similar to yours.  I had 4
LEOs, 1 NTA and 6 SPOs between 0400 - 0445 EDT (0900 - 0945 UT) on Nov
22/23.  All the LEOs I had that morning were faint and unimpressive.  My
sky conditions were not great that morning at all, neither was my alertness
level from sleep deprivation although judging from your results, maybe I
was more alert than I thought I was!
     Even 4 - 6 LEOs an hour on that morning so long after the max time is
pretty amazing I thought, so perhaps there was at least a minor enhancement
to the stream on that morning after all?  Great job!

Clear skies and lots of Geminds to all, Paul J in North Florida
