(meteorobs) more Leonids



To: IMO-news, DMS, meteorobs etc.
Subject: more Leonids


Below some more LEONID observations. It concerns my early observations from
my hometown Voorschoten (the Netherlands) before the night of maximum. Note
the night of 13-14 which was the clearest night I ever experienced in
Voorschoten: a milky way into Monoceros from this urban (and therefore
light polluted) area! The -3 Southern Taurid of November 15, 3:11:26 UT was
spectacular: blue and with a whole bunch of flares, like fireworks. It was
also observed by Koen Miskotte from Ermelo.
