Leonid peak from East GA

I agree that the North American peak occured at around 10:42-45.  I had 
my strongest rates at this time, equal to if not slightly surpassing 
last year's best "minute."

I also completely agree that this was not a bright display though I did 
have a few nice fireballs including one -7 that had a 40 second train.  
The hours leading up to the peak were quite slow, but the bursts during 
the peak were great...sometimes six and seven meteors in less than 5 
seconds!!!  I really need to thaw my toes and get some sleep, I'll try 
to get out my report later today.
