Re: (meteorobs) Leonids fever

Ed,

Where to in AZ? In Tucson now, it's very clear even though it's officially 
"partly cloudy". I can only hope for the best.

I tested my camera, it does 6.3 mag on tape, about 13 degree FOV. I am 
wondering, should I put it near the radiant, or someplace else? I can see 
from Regulus to Aldhafera.

Thanks,
Mark
