Jonathan, one other thing I would like to add to what Wayne said above is
that the Leonids produce some bright meteors, so your hourly rates will be
higher than those you have been telling me about. I agree with Wayne, don't
use the "Zero-power" binoculars, keep an eye out over your entire field of view.
