Watch for falling rocks

SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
Well, not rocks, and they're not going to do much in the way of damage, but watch anyway!
The Leonids are being spotted quite regularly. I hope to get a few on photo [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    We've caught some great ones tonight here on the West Coast in North America.

    Isn't the shower supposed to be at it's peak tomorrow night though?

    By the way, aren't the Leonids cometary fragments from one of our regular visitors? If that's the case, it's not falling rocks, but falling ice...

    You are correct, I believe. A comet orbiting the sun shed itself to death, leaving a fun trail of junk. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

    But "Watch for falling ice" doesn't have the same ring.

    Now, I got over 400 pictures in the last 1:40, so i'm going to see how they turn out now [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Here is a very useful link: [url="http://www-space.arc.nasa.gov/~leonid/estimator.html"]http://www-space.arc.nasa.gov/~leonid/estimator.html[/url]

    It's REALLY handy.

    Peaked for everyone last night, Jack. We're all on the same planet here. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    I got up to look, but unfortunately it was cloudy.

    I saw lots of hefty green trails last night (this morning more acurately). Finally went to bed at 4:30 am.

    Neighbors had a pair of quarreling Racoons, and the nearby hill had a quartet of yelping Cayote's...

  • Yeah, I'd say it peaked around 3 or 4... it was pretty cool. I went to a park a ways out of town to watch it with some buddies... we stayed there from about 1 till 5:30...
  • I heard that the shower was around 5:30 here, but I missed it. Meeting of the vampire society went into overtime and all [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
