Dear List Members:
Sorry, for the late reply. I observed 164 meteors from 4:30am to 6:00am from Longboat Key (Sarasota) Florida. I was on the beach, facing east, with the moon behind me. Temperature was "cold" by Florida standards- a whopping 54 F. Perfectly clear skies since a high pressure front moved in.
I witnessed over 600 Leonids in 2 hours on Nov 19, 2001 under a moonless clear night in Chiefland, Florida (near Gainesville). The leonid storm will live forever in my memories.
Sincerely
Greg Shanos
