Leonid meteor shower

Looks like it will be a good one this year. From Meteor Showers Online:
Observing the Leonids
Astronomers are predicting that the Leonids could experience an outburst of about 500 per hour on November 17. Although Asia is favored for the outburst, observations are encouraged around the world on the mornings of November 17 and 18, as better than normal rates could be seen. The moon will not be an issue.
From NASA comes this estimator for best times to observe. Posted by DaveH at November 14, 2009 5:28 PM
