Secondly, the sky is covered with thick clouds spewing rain, and I see no signs that it will change during the night. Thirdly, I doubt that one will be able to get any meaningful photographs of the meteors with a Leica M, although it might be fun to take flash pictures of the other photographers (be prepared to be yelled at) and also to smugly look at the people with point-and-shoots using flash to photograph objects millions of miles away (I saw many people doing that during the Halley's Comet pass in 1986). Goodnight...
