Information on this years Leonids.....

[philg]

It's November and we will shortly be able to see the Leonid meteors again (I hope!)

Can someone remind me of the best dates and times to look out for them?

Thanks

Great, thanks

But I'd hoped it might say which direction to look in. It seems to imply "north" but a few years ago, I am sure I saw them in the southern sky.....

Problem seems to be that the November 17th, 2005 Leonids shower will be during a full moon, which will, most likely, inhibit any viewing of the event. I haven't found a 2006 schedule yet...

... but here's the schedule for 2006...
