> Because IMO has net yet published first results, we have made an
> illustrative graph based on simplified data submitted through
> a form for the "general public". It clearly shows a first peak a
> little bit after 5UT, and the second peak around 10:50UT (later
> than expected?).

> The graph can be found at http://www.uraniadot be/leoniden/genreport.php

> Our observers in France saw no less than 82 meteors between 05:05
> and 05:10 UT last night! (limiting magnitude around 4.5) They expect
> a max ZHR of roughly 3500-4000 for the first peak in Europe, but this
> is only a wild guess.

> Please don't forget to use the "IMO quick report form" to report your
> observations, found at http://www.imodot net (or mirror
> http://www.amsmeteors.org/imo-mirror). I understand it will help IMO
> to make a quick first analysis of the storm.
