(meteorobs) Leonids from NE Oklahoma
Excellent (though cold) conditions from just south of Chelsea, Oklahoma, about 30 miles NE of Tulsa.
We had a wide-open FOV and I would estimate 4.5 mag skies.
My observing buddy, Mr. Gary White, logged 360 meteors from 09:00
UT to 11:00 UT. I myself counted 260 Leonids from 10:20 UT to 11:00
UT. I still have to sort out magnitude distribution, but overall,
they seemed more faint than last year. Only 3 had persistent trains.
Peak appeared to be about 10:45 UT.
I also saw my first "point meteor" (I think that is the terminology).
Proper submission format to follow.
It was a great evening! Bring on the Geminids!
