The Leonid meteor shower, last observed in 2001, will once again be visible, from midnight on Tuesday to 3.30 am the next day...The Leonid meteor shower produces an average of around 40 meteors per hour at its peak. It has a cyclic peak year every 33 years, with hundreds of meteors visible every hour...As the night progresses, the number of meteors visible is expected to rise and the shower is expected to peak between 3.04 am and 3.14 am in the early hours of Wednesday, numbering hundreds of meteors per hour.

Jon, keep your gear, you'll regret selling it. However, if you do plan on getting rid of it, definitely let me know, as I'm pretty sure you have a few things I would scoop up in a heartbeat.

The shower doesn't "stop" and "start" immediately, but it is reaching its peak about... now, for the next couple hours. Heading out, thank goodness I live in Texas so it's still 40 degrees and above freezing right now.
i just got my first dslr this week,

And it isn't pink, it's "cherry blossom red." 
Jon, what gear do you have? Just trying to get a heads up on what you'll have if you end up selling, which I doubt you will lol.

Just the gripped D90, 50, 18-105, 70-300 tele/macro, and the SB600. And you're probably right. By the time I get ready to sell I'll have the cash for my wheels saved up lol.
