(meteorobs) Observation November 17/18 2000
Here's my hourly data summary for the fantastic night of Leonids. I
shudder to think how many more would have been visible under darker
New Moon conditions! A second report with data in 15 minutes periods
will be coming up soon. Narative report a bit later.
