                              [Corrected Report]

   We had a clear night last Saturday/Sunday and did some observing. We saw
a few deep sky objects and comet Machholz Q2. I also got in three good hours
of meteor observing, but twilight interfered after 8:30 UT the last hour.
Good activity was seen from the ETAs the last hour, and moderate activity
was seen fron the IAAs the first two hours. Sporadic activity was low. The
best meteor seen was a 0 magnitude yellow-green Eta Aquarid with a 2 second 
train seen at 8:11 UT. 

   The data for the CAU meteors has been revised, because I had noted that 
these meteors were swift, when they are actually of medium speed. I should 
have caught this error sooner, but will include the corrections in my formal
report to AMS.

* Note: Corrected results for CAU meteors. After double checking, candidates
        were too slow; so were probably chance sporadic alignments,
