From: James R. Bedient, Honolulu, Hawaii
Date: Nov. 17, 1997

I checked the sky a couple of times this morning, and didn't see much in the
way of Leonids.  Oahu is awash in volcanic haze, and there was a thin cover
of cirrus cloud.  The naked-eye limiting magnitude was about 2.5.

1300-1310 UT: None seen

1510-1520 UT: One 0 magnitude Leonid seen, about 5 degrees long with a 1
second train.

Maybe next year.
