Default Leonids meteor shower

the annual Leonids meteor shower looks to have perfect conditions for viewing this year! Prime time is supposed to be 3:30am - 5:30am Sunday morning... no moon at that time, clear skies predicted, and no wind... head out on the lake (or to a field), bundle up and watch...

Now all we need is the meteors to show up... as one article I read said "the only thing predictable about the number of meteors that occur during the Leonids, is that it is totally unpredictable"...

In 2001, it was an amazing show, several hundred over the course of a few hours, and so bright you could see the trails reflected off the lake!!!

Happy viewing and stay warm and safe out on the lake -PIG
