Like in 2008, another Leonids Outburst is expected in 2009! The maximum is predicted to occur on November 17th, with an Outburst around 21-22 UT (ZHR up to 200 hr-1 or even more). Unfortunately, the Leonids radiant elevation will be very low over Europe during predicted time of maximum, thus leading to poor perceived meteor rates. But after radiant rise, meteor flux should still be remarkable, thus providing good rocks also for european MS enthusiasts.
