(meteorobs) FW: Leonid observations
Please find below my personal counts and magnitude distributions of
November 17, 1996.
I was part of the two-car expedition of the Dutch Meteor Society towards the
surroundings
of Abbeville, France (lat=50 00', lon=+1 40'), but happened to be in the car that
encountered less favourable atmospheric conditions. Nevertheless: plenty of
fireballs!
Note the strange magnitude distribution of the Leonids. Can anyone confirm
this?

Predicted progress always fails. Real progress is all the small
steps you realize to have made when looking back in time.
