Re: (meteorobs) Leonids - colors?
Michael and List
Indeed out meteors seen in the 1998 display from Woomera, Australia showed a
multi-coloured appearance, exp the combination of greens and yellows,
sometimes faint orange.
Even this year the few -2 Leos that I saw displayed a small amount of green
yellow colouration.
