(meteorobs) Leonid obs. LANMA 16-17 Nov 2000
Hi,
Below a table with my data from the night of November 16-17, obtained while
observing under excellent conditions from Almodovar in southern Portugal. In
total, 2.52h effective yielded 65 Leonids. Rates were already slightly
enhanced, (average ZHR ~25), especially during the last part of the session,
with rates slightly rising from ~1.5 to ~2 times the normal annual values.
My magnitude estimates yield an r-value of 3.0 for this period (compare to
2.5 the next night).
We focussed on the last hours of the night because we first took some
sleep -on Wednesday 15 November we decided to book a last-minute flight from
the Netherlands to Portugal for November 16, so we spent the larger part of
the day of the 16th travelling by aircraft and then by car.
