From: Gilberto Klar Renner, Puerto Alegre, Brasil Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1998 00:11:12 -0200 My team has observed the Leonids from southern Brazil (Puerto Alegre) on november 18 at 6h 07m UT . The radiant was at an altitude of14 degree. During 47 minutes of observation some clouds came in and the limiting magnitude was variable ( 6.2 - 5.3 ). We noted some bright Leonids, the brighter had a magnitude of - 4. I counted 5 Leonids and 8 sporadics. For me the mean magnitude of the Leonids was + 1.80 and + 2.38 for the sporadics. The observers were Luis Antonio da Silva Machado, Luis Henrique Siqueira Frota, and myself.
