(meteorobs) Leonids Our first observations
Hi!
My sincere thanks to Tony Beresford for pointing out the mistakes in my
report. The corrected reports are here.
By the way, our last night meteor hunt was a complete disappointment with a
LM of 3.79 due to the cirrus. Our reports had a funny count of 5 meteors! I
do not know whether I have missed too much. Sky seems to be cooperative
today.
