12:30-2:45
Friday I went out at 12:30 to view the Leonids at Powell. Only one person was there using the outside telescope. He left and a family with many boys came out to see the meteor shower. The little observatory cat was out here too. But that was about it .
There weren't a lot of meteors to see. The best was a -3 very wide Sporadi fireball heading towards constellation Leo, at 12:30. As Clint Eastwood said " make my day" and that one was really nice.
Saw only 8 in 1.5 hours ( 5 sporadics and 3 Leonids ) so I was a little disappointed in the numbers. 2 had trains. Most were White and faint.
4:30-6:11
11/19/2006
Cloudy went to bed and woke up and headed to POwell. Nobody around not even the cat. Saw 9 (7 Leondis and 2 sporadics). Mostly fain 2-4 magnitude but 4 had nice trains.
That's all folks about that.
