On Nov. 17, 2009, Earth will pass through the 1466 stream again, but this time closer to the center. Based on the number of meteors observed in 2008, Vaubaillon can estimate the strength of the coming display: five hundred or more Leonids per hour. The times provided are optimal view hours for PST, but the Leonid Meteor shower may last up to two days so there may be other times for optimal viewing.
SD info about it.
Recommendations from that site
1 Dress warmly if you are in autumn temperate climate.
2 Go to a dark sky location.
3 Lean back and watch the sky, particularly toward the east and overhead.
4 Everyone should watch during early morning hours till just before dawn on the night of 16th-17th for the traditional peak. For people in Asia and other eastern hemisphere locations, the early morning hours of the 18th are going to be the best time.
