(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.
