(meteorobs) Leonids from EMO Courtenay, B.C. CANADA



WOW!!!!!! That was quite a show!  I didn't get a chance to see things first
hand as I was too busy attending to my spectrographs.  Over 50 spectra, zero
order and first order were recorded with my 2nd Generation Image Intensifier
spectrograph.  Some were quite spectacular.  I will have to review the tapes
after I get some sleep and get an accurate count.  It's 5:30 a.m. P.S.T.  I
also deployed a Hasselblad with an F-2.8 - 80 mm lens and a 750 l/mm film
type holographic grating.  I don't expect much from this unit as the meteors
would have to be quite bright to register a spectrum.  I will report on this
when I have the film developed.  I still have to review the Sandia All-sky
tapes for bright fireballs.  Probably in a day or two.  Hope everyone had a
good night!
