(meteorobs) Leonids but no aurora
I was not able to detect the aurora here but did
just finish another two hours observing again this morning. Leonid
rates were 1/4 to 1/3 their strength from yesterday, at about 5-7 per
hour, from 8:56 to 9:56 UT. Sporadic/non-LEO rates were still very good,
however, boosting the rates to about 35 meteors total seen during the
watch.
The dark face of the rising crescent moon was
splashed lightly in earthshine this morning as it rose, and made for a
nice finale for my leonid "expedition" this year, aurora or no
aurora!
Full report later.
