Details:
The next beautiful fireball from the Leonids shower fell into the frame on November 19, 2023 at 01:55 UT Near Oxford UK. Exposure time 4 s, ISO 1600, lens 24mm F 1.4 @ 1.4 (Full Frame). Estimated brightness around - 7 mag. The trail was visible in the next 70 frames for over 5 minutes. Between 00:00 and 4:00 UT there were 3 more Leonids but they were darker. Although an hour had passed since the shower's maximum activity (November 17, 22:00 UT) - 28 hours had already passed - ZHR activity was still approximately 15 meteors per hour and a few hours later it could have been even greater. Unfortunately from 04 UT the sky over central England became covered with clouds again.
