So...>Link It looks like the most hits will be during the afternoon, but our best viewing will start around 4am.

Best chance for earthgrazers supposedly Sat evening early Sun.

Earthgrazers: if you begin observing before Leo rises -- that is, around local midnight -- and a Leonid meteor outburst occurs, then you may spot a flurry of shooting stars called Earthgrazers. These are disintegrating meteoroids that fly over the horizon nearly parallel to the atmosphere. They produce long colorful tails. Usually Earthgrazers are remarkably slow-moving, but Leonid meteoroids are the fastest known. They strike Earth's atmosphere traveling 72 km/s (161,000 mph!) and so appear to streak very quickly across the sky. Even the Earthgrazing variety of Leonid meteors may appear fast-moving.

You guys are cool, not only are you all into my first love of tractors and all things mechanical but you are into my second love of astronomy. I guess I am in the right place. Happy viewing.

Joe

If you were here in Vermont, you could sit in a tree and pretend you are waiting for first light so you can hunt deer.

Sorta like I am planning...

Dave,

This year there is a good possibility of a "storm"-- that is up to 8,000 an hour at 5am. The folks in Hawaii have a better chance than that!

I have Galileo Planitarieum installed on this computer. A nifty program. I will have to check and see what that might tell me.
