| I saw those yesterday. It amazes me how much of a line there is between the eastern and western united states. |

| I tried...and failed miserably. Didn't help that it's below freezing outside and I really didn't feel like turning into a Popsicle. |

It was mostly cloudy and about 62F here. I shot for a while, about 1/2 hour, and will have a look at the results tomorrow. Meteors could be seen between the clouds at the rate of probably one every 90 to 120 seconds average.
Shooting was with a 16mm f2.8 fisheye, iso 800, f2.8 30 to 60 sec exposures. The stars look nice but somewhat hazy with the cloud cover. I can't see any meteors in the images in the LCD, but they may show up when I put them on the monitor. |

| Didn't bother with the photography, but it was a very good shower. Only spent about 10 minutes, but was seeing at least 1 a minute and nice long ones. Not earth grazers, but ones that still lasted long enough to really see -- not just out of the periphery. |

| I was outside at 2am and it was perfectly clear. Meh, too cold– back inside. |

| We had clear skies temps around freezing... and I was inside trying to shake whatever creeping respiratory crud has had hold of me since Tuesday :-P |

| What I saw looked good, but they were not bright enough to register on the sensor at f2.8 and iso 800. I did get some interesting looking shots of Orion and Gemini. I may try again tonight at iso 1600 or 2000, and do shorter exposures. |
