Leonid Meteor Shower Peaks Early Tuesday Morning

GringoChapin writes in with coverage from Space.com on the Leonid meteor shower, adding "Folks from the United States will want to start watching at 0100 Pacific, 0400 Eastern, and those in Europe from 0100 local time until dawn." "One of the best annual meteor showers will peak in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday, and for some skywatchers the show could be quite impressive. The best seats are in Asia, but North American observers should be treated to an above average performance of the Leonid meteor shower, weather permitting." Sky and Telescope's coverage is excellent as usual, and they also have tips for beginning and advanced meteor observers.

I have to spend the whole night about 9,300 feet up, on the side of Mauna Kea.

Hmm, I think I'll take my cameras. And spare batteries. :)

Sorry, wet Swedes.
