Jure,

A double maximum is highly doubtful for this year. Last year the
outburst of fireballs was caused by large particles located relatively
near the parent comet Temple-Tuttle. Now that the comet is much further
away so too are most of the large particles. The peak near 2 UT on the
18th should be the only outburst seen. I would expect this outburst to
be rich in numbers but on the faint side.

Clear Skies!

The predicted ZHR 1000 - 1500 maximum (2:08 UT Nov 18) does not coincide with the orbital plane crossing which is at 23:00 UT ( Nov 17) - if I understand correct. If this is the case, then Eastern Europe and the Near East really will be the place to be.
