Though it rained all night in Tucson, the weather was fine in San Diego and Bob was able to get a good night of video observing in. What a difference 2 nights make. The number of Quadrantids plummeted to only 2 out of a total of 51 detected meteors.
From Bob Lunsford’s notes: “The skies have finally cleared allowing me to again monitor the skies. There is not much left of the Quadrantid shower, which provide such as splendid display on the morning of the 3rd. The Antihelion radiant was also strangely quite this morning, when one would expect at least a meteor per hour from this radiant during the morning hours.”
