Leonids from Sacramento

by Randy Muller

I watched the sky above Roseville (near Sacramento) for about 20 minutes or so from about 1:15am PST (Nov. 19, 9:15 UT) to about 1:35am and saw one sporadic meteor.

It was clear, but transparency was down a fair amount due to heavy moisture.

At this same time before the peak last year, activity was a lot higher, even taking into account the lousy viewing conditions, so I went to bed.
