March is usually one of the slowest months of the year for meteor watchers. Not only are there no major showers active, but sporadic rates are also low. Of the ~208 meteors detected by my 2 cameras over the 2nd half of March, only 5 were shower members 1 GNO, 1 ZSE and 3 ZCY). The only real excitement was on the night of March 28/29 when at least 3 meteors (and possibly 2 more that were not id’d as such by MetRec) were seen coming from a point near the expected radiant of the weak Zeta Cygnid shower.
