Scientific paper

The 2007 return of the Leonids, with peak expected on Saturday night to Sunday morning of November 17-18, is well-placed with respect to moonlight. The Moon, a day past first quarter, will set around midnight UT, just as the shower radiant - in Leo's 'Sickle' asterism - is rising. By necessity, the Leonids are best observed in the early hours when the radiant is climbing higher into the eastern sky. Peak should occur around Nov 18d 05h UT. Observers are encouraged to make the most of this opportunity to obtain coverage of the Leonids as they return to the more 'normal' activity that prevails for two-thirds of their cycle.
