a team of 15 students of University College Utrecht has defied Dutch
weather conditions { snow!} to observe the 1999 Leonids. We have had one
hour of clear skies from roughly 00h00 UT to 01h15 UT in which we have
counted 25 or 26 Leonids per person, most of them ofcourse identical. The
UCU-Campus "enjoyed" a limiting magnitude of 5.0 and about 6 of these
Leonids were of magnitude +1 or higher.
