Interesting comment, Wayne. It seems that folks with higher LMs (better than 6) 
reported (or hinted at) a bimodal distribution for the Leonid peak this year, 
while folks with lower LMs (<=6) reported almost exclusively bright 'uns.

Malcolm, was anyone doing a telescopic watch on the Leonids during peak?
