(meteorobs) YOUKI Observations 11-16/17-01

        I observed under transparent skies for two hours before dawn this
morning.  Rates for the first period were about as I expected, but then fell rather sharply for the second period, with only two SPO's and five LEO's seen. Nothing brighter than 0 magnitude was seen.  In fact, the leonids were spread rather evenly throughout the range from 0 to +5.
