Dear all, 
  
I am Mikiya Sato. 
I opened the web of my prediction of Leonids 2009. 
  
http://fas.kaicho.net/tenshow/meteor/leo2009/leo2009.htm 
  
Mainly, three trails will encounter the earth on Nov 17. 
The maximum is at about 21:30, but it is uncertain. 
A total maximum of ZHR will be about 250 in this prediction 
roughly estimated by me. 
  
Year Max.(UT) Sol.Lon. D-R(AU) Ej.V(m/s) fM ZHR

And, I am sorry for my late announcement. 
  
Best regards,

Fig. 1 Distributions of the dust trails of Leonids in 2009 
 
Mainly, three trails will encounter the earth. 
The expected peak time is at about 21:30 (UT) on Nov 17. However, this prediction include the error of about one hour. 
And the value of ZHR is roughly estimated. |
