Leonids from Montebello

by Christopher Hays

Montebello had about 20 cars and 10 telescopes in the parking lot, and lots of curious visitors from the probably 30 more cars parked on the road outside the gate.

Air still, relatively cloud-free, cold (about 45°), and very little moisture.

Nice views of Saturn, Jupiter, and the Orion Nebula would have been spectacular but for our intrusive satellite.
