I'm sure most of you have seen the write-up of the Leonids on NASA's Science
News site (http://spacescience.com/headlines/y2000/ast10oct_1.htm?list).  I
was looking over the peak time(s) predictions and was wondering something...

I live in Tennessee (CST), and it looks to me like the times are going to
fall on the nights of the 16/17 and 17/18 for me.  Will the drop-off of the
rate be drastic enough to discourage me from observing on the night of the
18/19th?  I was hoping make a public announcement of the shower and get
about 50 people together for the show.

Also, with a last-quarter moon in the midst of the action, what is the
expected visible rate if the ZHR is >100?

Thanks!
