Re: (meteorobs) leonids (Adelaide , Australia )
Hi meteor lovers of the world..
Just an update from previous posting regarding Leonids. I have got a report
from a member of our group who viewed the shower from a different location
to us on the morning of the 19th local time, he was approx. 100 k north of
our location and viewed longer thas us that night.
He said he saw three almost simultaneous daylight Leonid fireballs after the
sun had just risen properly at around 5.40 local time (18:50 UT 18th/11/02)
and then another very bright long Leonid fireball about another half an hour
later in full daylight as they were driving home!.
In addition i forgot to add LM on my earlier post it was around 4.5 LM for
that hour and clouds hovered around 20% to the west mostly, plus there was
very thin cirrus present over about 50-70 % of that hour (below) elevation
400 mtrs
..we also saw 3 nice alpha-monocerotids between around 2-3 am local time.
