Default Leonid outburst??

Did anyone get any unusual results?

Single observer counts already adjusted for cloud cover

02:30 - 03:30 ~ 6 (30% cover)
03:30 - 04:30 ~ 8 (50% cover)
04:30 - 05:30 ~ 16 (10% cover)

Location: Angelsey, NELM 6+. M35 clearly visible to direct vision, winter
Milky Way visible down past Canis Major.
No real evidence of an outburst unless they were too faint and quick for our
aged eyes

Paul, Don


Outside Milton Keynes, totally clear and transparent skies (n/emag +5)
Watch from 0305-0535UT with a 10 minutes break.
23 leonids recorded of whom 3 flashes in low horizon cloud (could have
been fireworks but past 4am at different azimuths over open
countryside?) and 7 sporadics.

To synchronise to your watches (single observer wysiwyg, no correction)
0305-0330UT -- 2 leonids, no sporadics
0330-0425UT -- 11 leonids, 4 sporadics
0435-0535UT -- 10 leonids, 3 sporadics

I was minding a camera at the same time when I could have missed some.
