I was able to observe two unremarkable Taurids on 11/12/2005 UT.  I began 
observing 16 minures after moonset. The best of the morning was a -4 
sporadic coming from the east.  It, and some dimmer meteors, may have been 
apex meteors.  However, because I was looking westward, I could not confirm 
this possibility.

Date:  11/12/2005  Time: 8:08-9:20 UT

Place: Newburg, Maryland, USA: approx coordinates  77 deg W longitude; 38.5 
deg N latitude; sea level.

Teff= 1.20 hours, Lm=5.1, some river fog interference; F=1.00; central field 
was Taurus/eastern Cetus

TAU: +2 (2);

SPO:  -4 (1, with a 20 second train), +2 (1  ); +3 (1); +4 (2)

Total of 7 meteors

Best wishes,   Rich Taibi
