(meteorobs) Quick report of Leonids shower observation in 1999.
Hello all,
I carry my quick report of Leonids observation as below. About the
weather, Nov. 16/17 and 18/19 are very clear and fine, but on maximum
day, it was very bad weather on Nov. 17/18 almost in Japan. However,
fortunately I managed to observe Leonids during short time early in the
morning on Nov. 18. On Nov. 17/18, The Leonid meteors were very faint
and most Leonid meteors were three or less magnitude. No fireball
appeared during the observation. On Nov. 18/19, many Leonid meteors
appeared. I found 3 or 4 Leonid meteors per minutes on maximum time.
However, there was little fireball appeared.
Clear skies, Takema.
