Sept 22/23 Meteors

Some nights you get a lot, some nights not so many. After detecting 25 meteors the previous night, last night only turned up 11 meteors. I wouldn’t read too much into the change in detections from night to night. Based on what has been detected this month, I’d saw my system is finding 20 ± 10 meteors per night. So numbers between 10 and 30 meteors per night are the norm.
