Thanks to Rosta, Petr and Bruce for the results of the Ondrejov radar
and the Edmonton Sky Skan radio results for the two Leonid peaks.

After applying the topocentric correction (the peak time varies by a few
minutes depending on your location on the Earth), the following
geocentric peak times are derived for the two peaks.  These geocentric peak
times can then be compared with predictions.

                                        Topocentric
                              Observed  Correction         Geocentric
            Long.      Lat.   peak UT        m              peak UT
Ondrejov  14d 47'E  49d 55'N   04:06       -3.1       =>     04:03
Edmonton 113d 31'W  53d 34'N   10:47       -3.6       =>     10:43

Of course, these are just results from two stations and are not meant to
imply a final result.

Cheers, Rob
