Re: (meteorobs) Leonids in southern France
Hi Jan, Christophe and others on the list,
I have expanded my weatherpage on www.dmsweb.org to have it especially
usefull for the Leonids. If anybody is going to observe the Leonids from
southern France or Spain please consult the DMS-website and go to the
weatherlink.
Very best wishes to all of you,
Casper.
