Peter Bus has noted that I gave the time of the Earth crossing the
comet's node incorrectly as Nov 18.8 UT in the paragraph titled RESULTS.
It is repeated correctly below.  This does not affect any of the
calculations.

   The Surface Intensity only applies to the time of maximum brightness
   and this will presumably occur at the peak of the shower. Thus at the
   two times given below the surface intensity is likely to be less than
   at Nov 17.8 UT. However, the positions for the two times will give an
   indication of the motion of the glow over the course of a day.

He also notes that the URL of the Japanese web page doesn't like the tilde
before "fujii".  It appeared on my browser as "~fujii", but if anyone has
problems, they could do a web search for "Leonid Meteoric Cloud".
