Originally i did not plan to add my own feelings into the usually a
little overloaded mailnig list, but as i haven't seen any reasonable
reactions on last night't perfect storm here, i decided to do so.

Night: 18./19. 11. 2002
Location: Buchlov Castle (south-eastern Czech. Rep., Middle Europe)
Observers: 23 people
Conditions: variable (lm from +5.4 donwto +2.5 with c=20 upto 60%)
Time: 2:35 upto 4:44 UT
Leonids seen: 471 pieces (me personally) - in such a bad weather it
is really great number!

Estimated ZHR during the observed peak (around 4:12 UT) maybe over
4000! (My own estimate, please do not beat me!) and high rates lasted
over the twilight.

Great show!
