Would you be interested in a picture of a leonid fireball over Tucson taken at 4:18AM???

Dear Andrew: The expected peak activity for the Leonids has already passed (it was Monday night) but you may see a few tonight or tomorrow. Around midnight, look north to northwest in the night sky. If there are any meteors, and you have dark skies, they will be easy to see. Regards — LL

I saw nothing, and was up till 2am, and got up again at 4:30. Kind of disappointed since on Long Island (NY) we have waay too much light pollution and trees to be able to see any. I had high hope.

Logical Lizard....that's seven more than I saw. Admittedly, I was cold and only watched about 10 minutes - around 1:40 AM.

Dear StarGirl: I made many trips out to the garden last night, between 11 pm and 3:30 am and despite fairly crisp and clear skies I only saw seven meteors. A bit disappointing, but predicting how good a meteor shower is going to be is not an exact science. I gather skywatchers in Asia today may do better today. I get the telescope out now and then, but it was a little big to take on the road with the Meteorite Men : ) Thank you for reading! — LL
