Thanks for the great post. We were up at 4:00AM, standing outside freezing - it was about twenty degrees here in Northern PA - and watching the display.

IMHO, it Leonids weren't as spectacular as they were a few years ago, but impressive nonetheless.

Due to our screwy schedule, neither of us get much skywatching in anymore, though we both have good telescopes. The air was so clear early this morning, and SO many stars were visible, that it was worth it weathering the cold for an hour just to see those beautiful stars. I had forgotten just how absolutely beautiful the stars are this time of year.

In NE, it was pretty spectacular from just after 5 to about 5:50. At one point I saw six in parallel at the same time. Four of which were in the same instant with the other two following in sus-second sequence. ..And the various colors. I didn't know they came in green and red.
