      Despite a less than ideal observation site and LM 4.0+ sky  I have
managed to bag 8 Leonids and 1 SPO exceptional bright green fireball in
Kranji, NW of Singapore.

      There is absence of meteors seen  from 11/17 UT 17-1900 hrs. The
first Leonid started in 11/17 UT 19:34. Peak around UT 20:10-20:15,
21:30-22:00 as twilight approaches...

       Centre of view: Auriga. All leoids seen were swift , one left a
visible wake and typical trajectories of 20-25 degrees. Color range from
one orange-red to slight yellow white. ( did not observe the
yellow-green like in 1999 Leonids). May be these are influenced by the
dominant moon light. I am surprise to have seen such bright meteors with
moon  nearby!!
       There is definitely heightened leonids activity....this year
leonids gave local folks a chance to see Leonids w/o travelling abroad.
