Thankyou Dave
I did 4 mornings for the '98 leonids (I was hardcore meteor shower observer back then)
mornings of 16th (15th UT) 17th (16th UT) 18th (17th UT) 19th (18th UT)
first three from dark sky sites - last one outer suburbia with pretty dark skies.
on the big morning, 17th local time, we did midnite till dawn :-))))) Stew again took some film photos (only 200 speed too i think?!!!) but it was after the action was mostly over

I remember reading the 2001 leonids was the best meteor shower/storm viewable from Oz since the settlement of Australia!
The leonids this year are possibly going to be quite decent I read
otherwise the Geminids in dec are solid performers in my books - nice weather too!
