(meteorobs) LEO rates >15 OHR East Georgia 11-19/20-03



I have just finished two hours of observations, glad to report the Leonids are still showing signs of life. 
I logged 18 LEO's the first period (7:47 - 8:47 UT) and 14 during the second period (8:47 - 9:47 UT) under crystal clear skies, LM probably right at +6.5 during the first period.  Sporadic/non-leo rates were very strong also,  probably had 33 or more during the two hours, for a total of about 65 or so meteors during the session, slightly better than the Orionids  The only fireball (-3) was a sporadic. It  seemed that almost all the Leonids left trains. 
 
I should have my full report ready later this evening.
