11/27/96 6:05 PM EDT 11/17/96 00:30 AM EDT to 03:00 AM EDT Leonids Watched the Leonids with Charles Redmond. The sky started out skunky and cleared out by 1:15 AM giving us a LM of + 6.0 We observed 38 Leonids and 23 other meteors. One Leonid was several times the brightness of Venus (m1 near -6.0) that left a greenish train that lasted close to a minute. The train became distorted by the upper atmospheric winds. Another Leonid not directly visually observed lit up the surrounding landscape for a brief instant. A good time was had by all! 11/15/96 6:20 PM EDT Imaged Hale Bopp 11/14/96 6:20 PM EDT Imaged Hale Bopp. This is the night Chuck from Houston found his anomolous object before doing his homework. Here is my raw image of HB on 11/12 and 11/14 glued together with Chuck's mystery object. 11/12/96 6:20 PM EDT Imaged Hale Bopp Home |
