I had the chance to see the Leonid shower last year. During the peak there
were probably 10 or more meteor all around the sky per second! Off course
it is not a good idea to look directly on the radiant; in a direction 60-90
degree from the radiant is a good place. The leonid are mainly not too
bright, but with luck you can see some very bright ones, that show also
colors (green, red)
