G7IZU RRD NEWS - 01 NOVEMBER 2010

October's meteor shower of note was the Orionids (ORI), which has been 
producing a number of interesting reflections.

November is not going to have any spectacular showers, but the Leonids (LEO) 
peaking on Nov 17th is predicted to give visual rates of around 20 meteors per 
hour at about 15h UT (favouring the Pacific Ocean region). A later peak at 
about 21h UT will favour locations further west across Asia/India/Australia. 
Europe and the US do not appear well placed, but other peaks in activity are 
possible. The Leonids will be active from Nov 10th to 23rd.
