Re: (meteorobs) Good Leonids Showing in San Jose, CA
All,
This is my first addition to the list, and I'm doing so simply to make my
observed data available to the list:
Location: ~10 miles east of San Jose, California. Elevation ~2000-2500 feet.
Start: 02:20 PST
End: 03:45 PST
Conditions: Perfectly clear, 45-50 degrees F.
02:20-02:30 21 meteors, 80% fainter than Jupiter's magnitude (FTJM).
02:30-02:47 67 meteors, 80% FTJM, 2 bright blue fireballs that persisted
~15 degrees, possibly -3 or -4 magnitude.
02:47-03:15 42 meteors, 90% FTJM.
03:15-03:45 33 meteors, 90% FTJM.
During the entire duration, I also saw three other meteors that were
vectoring towards the Leo radiant and were not included in the numbers above.
In all, I was not disappointed, this was a very good show for the Leonids.
