Name : Ankur Puranik
Location : India, Bombay 18.58deg N ; 72.49 E
Observation time : 04:00AM - 06:00 AM .
No of meteors seen : 13 total 11 leonids + 2 sporadic. ( pretty bad rate)
Comments : The overall exp.was bad . First of all the moon was shining bright in the westside. So there were no chances of seeing the faint meteors. Of the ones that i saw were of magnitude = -2 ( max). Moon light was a major problem...locating the constellation leo was also difficult, but planet jupiter made it a bit easy for me to locate leo. A beginner would surely face lot of trouble finding the constellation of leo. Also not all stars of leo were visible which made it more difficult.
Secondly the atmosphere was turbulant , also with some clouds...which made the observation all the more difficult.
Leonids have been somewhat disappointing for india all the time...
