Preliminary results from Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), November 18:

We have obtained the following Leonid zenithal hourly rates (based on
one hour time intervals) from independent observations carried
out at Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Spain):

Interval (UT)     N      ZHR
01:26-02:36       20     110 (radiant at only 10 degree elevation!)
03:24-04:24       35      65
05:26-06:25       31      55

These PRELIMINARY rates are based on one hour counts. The limiting
magnitude varied between 6.2 and 6.4. No clouds except thin cirri at
the beginning of the observations. Very few bright meteors appeared
during the whole observing run. The activity was definitely lower than
that observed on November 17 at the same site.
