(meteorobs) Leonid observation November 18/19, 2002 from France (KACJA)
Hi!
As was evident from Jure's mail sent yesterday, MBK Team succeeded in
observing another Leonid meteor storm. We rented a van and drove 900 km to
French Alps where we found perfectly clear skies at an altitude of almost
1800 m.
I started observing at 01:24 UT with Leonid rates at about one per minute.
One hour later the Leonids were coming at 2 meteors per minute. The
activity then picked up quickly: 3 LEO/min at 03:30, 5 LEO/min at 03:35,
and over 10 LEO/min from 03:50 to 04:30. My highest rate was 29 Leonids
per minute at 04:03. The activity then slowed down but it was still
respectable at 3 LEO/min at the end of my observations. Unfortunately I
was too tired to continue officially observing, but did see a number of
bright Leonids right into the dawn.
Below is my summary report. Enjoy!
Clear skies!
