The Leonids meteor shower peaks on the night of November 16-17 (Sunday-Monday) but will look Okay Monday night as well. A fairly bright gibbous moon will interfere a bit but the Leonids are fast-moving, bright meteors. Expect up to 15 shooting stars per hour, better after midnight. The peak is actually Monday morning about 5:00 am.
