[AZ-Observing] Re: The Leonids Tuesday morning 19 Nov 02

Silvio,

1030UT is 0330MDT. Best time to view the second peak would probably be
between 0200 & Twilight.

Since I've taken Tuesday off of work, I'll start the thread here.

Has anybody made plans to go somewhere dark to take in the Storm? Where are
you going?

The Leonids are an incredible meteor shower. There are two peaks  
predicted. The first will be seen from Europe (0400 U.T.). The second,  
and possibly much better show will be seen from North America (1030  
U.T.). It is predicted this year's show will be much better than last  
year.

The second peak should be between 3:00 A.M. and 4:30 A.M. MST the morning  
of Tuesday 19 Noveber 2002.
