The show started slow. I saw a few faint ones in the first hour. But duirng 
the second half there were a number of bright Leonids. One "fireball" at 
23:10UT was exceptionally bright  and blue. It went from the sickel to 
Procyon. Towards the morning I was typical Leonids. Those fast short ones 
quite close to the radiant. It was a good show given moon's phase.
