I did a one-hour meteor session this morning. I had seen a couple of Leonids when looking up from viewing other objects through my telescope, so I wanted to see what was going on. Only 3 Leonids appeared. North Taurids kicked in a surprising 4 meteors, and sporadic activity was pretty good. Alpha Monocerotids were conspicuously absent. The highlight of the session was a +1 Zeta Puppid earthgrazer that shot long (~40 degrees) and fairly low along the horizon from SW to W. The radiant elevation at the time was only about 4 degrees.
