Here's something you might be interested in.
The Annual Leonid Meteor Shower, famous for its outbursts over the period 1998-2002, has now settled down to a modest display of only about 10-30 visible events per hour (as seen under clear, dark skies). This year the shower peaks during the wee hours of Tuesday, November 17. After the moon sets at around 3 a.m., rural skies will be dark enough for you to effectively observe the shower, assuming of course, the sky is not cloudy. All Leonid meteors appear to radiate from the constellation of Leo, which currently lies high in the south at dawn.
