LEONID METEORS: The 2003 Leonid meteor shower is set to peak on Wednesday morning, Nov. 19th. Sky watchers on the Atlantic side of North America are favored; they could see as many as 80 meteors per hour between 1:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. local time. Pacific observers (e.g., in Alaska, Hawaii, Japan) will count nearly half that number--still a nice shower--just before local sunrise.

I'll be out shooting the shower from a lonely hilltop in the country. Hope to
have some decent shots to post to my gallery.
Regards,
Shaun Lowe
