  As my last message got garbled, here it is again.

  We had a nice clear night in Greenbelt, Maryland last night. I was able
to get two good hours of meteor observing done. Between 8:32 and 10:32 UT
I was able to see 51 Leonids, despite the strong moonlight and cold. The
best one was a -6 magnitude bolide, that had a blue terminal burst and a
train that lasted for 3 minutes and 20 seconds! Also a -3, -2, and five -1
magnitude Leonids were seen.

     UT     LM    LEO    NTA    STA    SPO
08:32-09:32 5.0   26      1      1      3
09:32-10:32 5.2   25      0      0      4
