Nov 3/4 Meteors

Carl Hergenrother

Interesting night in that both of my cameras detected quite a bit of activity from the Northern Taurids but nothing unusual was seen from Bob’s camera in San Diego.

Bob’s notes from last night : “Pretty much clear all of last night. No extraordinary activity to report.”
