(meteorobs) Leonids max from Provence, south-eastern France

[Karl Antier]

Hi all ! 

Here is the electronic report made from an observing site situated in Provence,
South-eastern France. The intervals last 10 min.
Leonids seemed to appear together, that means two or three within a minute, and
then, nothing during several minutes.
The rates seemed to be continously 40 to 60.

Unfortunately, the delayed maximum was missed due to the interfecence oh a hunter
in a 4x4 car, who asked me what I was doing on the field, and who nearly crrashed
my binoculars with his tires when he left...
But when I watched the sky, I actually observed that the activity was higher : it
must be around 5h TU.

The highlights were :
-  two point meteors !
- a bright flashjust before observing (mag. -7/-8 ?)
- 2 simultaneous +1 Leonids
- nice earthgrazers
- a vivid green (-2) Leonid, and an orange with a blue metallic core one ( mag. -4)

Hope you'll have luck to see that too !
Clear skies !
Karl
