Short Hungarian Leonid Report for IMO News
Members of the Hungarian Astronomical Association observed
the outburst of the Leonids from Hungary under poor
limiting conditions (limiting magnitude around 4.5-5.0).
Before 03:20 UT at 19th of November 2002 the activity was
normal, after 3:50 UT the average activity was above
ZHR=1000, and several short (some minute long) strong
periods was observed with 20-25 meteors/minute (ZHR around
3000-4000). The activity declined after 4:20 UT, partly
because of the dusk and the appearance of clouds, but it
was still higher than before the outburst.
