(meteorobs) IMO-NEWS: WGM Leonids from Calar Alto Observatory in Spain
Here is more late data on the Leonids - again from Spain, but from WGM!
It will be interesting to see IMO's rate profiles between this group
and those from the US and Germany, also in Southern Spain that night.
Thanks for the data, Marc!
Clear skies all,

Dear fellow Meteorsobservers,
Here the visual report of the observers of the Dutch "Werkgroep Meteoren" in
cooperation with ESA, at the Calar Alto Observatory in Spain.
We observed the Leonids from 01.30 - 06.00 MET (00.30 - 05.00 UT) The sky
was very claer the limiting Magnitude was about M 6.3
Calar Alto Coordinates: 37 degr 13 min 24 sec and 02 degr 32 min 84 sec,
altitude 2180 meters above see level.
The leonids were visualy observed by Joost Hartman (HARJO) and Marc Neyts
(NEYMA). The activity was recorded bij tree intesified video-cameras,
one photometric ccd-camera. A radioreciever recorded the reflections of the
leonids. The allsky camera was there to photograph a possible fireball. The
other cameras with 80 and 100 mm lenses were there to make low-resulation
spectroscopic images of the leonids
You can also visit the ESA website for more information about this
expedition.
