LEONID METEORS 2002 FROM HUNGARY
D. Hatvani, \'A Kereszturi, Z. Kuli, F. R\'ozsa, M. R\'ozsahegyi,
K. S\'arneczky, I. Tepliczky and A. Borsos (Hungarian Astronomical
Association) observed the Leonids from Hungary, between Nov. 19.021 UT
(00:30) and Nov. 19.198 (04:45), under poor limiting conditions (limiting
magnitude around 4.5-5.0). Before Nov. 19.139 (03:20) the activity was
normal, then it increased from 1-2 Leonids per minute per observer to 5-6
Leonids per minute per observer until Nov. 19.160 (03:50). After Nov. 19.160
(3:50) we observed several short (some minute long) peaks. The greatest peak
was around Nov. 19.174 (04:10), when each observer observed on the averaged
25 Leonids per minute. There was two lower (15-20 Leonids per minute per
observer) peaks at Nov. 19.169 (04:04) and Nov. 19.176 (04:14). The activity
declined after Nov 19.180 (04:20), partly because of the dusk and the
appearance of clouds, but it was still higher than before the outburst.
