[meteorite-list] Leonids 2006 ???

[Rob McCafferty]

Hello All

I waited up all night to watch the Leonids this year.
I knew that if I went to bed, I'd never get up at 4am.

Curiously, the sky was pretty clear all night, unusual
for the Western Isles.

Between 4am and 5:30pm I saw 3, yes THREE meteors. Now
on a normal clear night up here I'd expect to see 10
in that time. Peak of the shower? Of those 3, only 1
came from the radiant (it was a nice one though,
magnitude -1 by my reckoning). The others were just
random meteors.

I swear I'll never listen to the scientists again.
Next year I'm going to get some sleep instead.
