[HCDX] Leonid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight into Wednesday Morning

["Mike Terry" <miketerry73@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

November sees the return of the Leonids shower. The actually number of
meteors per hour is variable at present. However, we expect the rate will be
around 10-15 'shooting stars' an hour, peaking around the 17th. The crescent
Moon around this time presents no problems as it will have set by the time
the shower gets going.
