Kyle
Gerstner, Mushroom Rock State Park in Kansas Nov. 19 |
#1, #2 | It's really a rock, not a mushroom! Both pictures contain faint Leonid meteors. The low-streaking (nearly horizontal) Leonid in #1 left a vapor trail that can be seen in #2. |

Simon
Filiatrault, Quebec, Canada Nov. 19 |
#1 | Simon Filiatrault had spent all night outdoors taking pictures of Leonids. After 88 shots he had captured only a few unimpressive meteors. But then ... "After 2 hours of -11C, I was about to go inside for a hot bath when I took this one last shot of the sunrise--and a bright Leonid," recalls Simon. "I was so lucky!" |

Paulo M.
Raymundo, Salvador, Brazil Nov. 19 |
#1, more | P. Raymundo: "We saw a marvelous display of Leonids with a couple of earth-grazers and several -5 mag. fireballs. Residual smoke trains were very frequent but could hardly be seen for more than a few seconds due to moonlight interference. Details: 50mm f/1.7 Pentax Lens on Fuji Superia 400 film taken at 04:05 UT, 40-second exposure." |

Matthew Maness,
Roanoke, Virginia Nov. 19 |
#1, #2 | M. Maness: "I stepped out at 5:15am to see if the sky had cleared up, and to my suprise it was only a little overcast. I pulled out my camera and snapped away, picture after picture. I saw about 30 meteors in a 15 minute period, but then it got to cold, and I had school in an hour. I needed some sleep so i called it a night." |
