(meteorobs) Re: Bright Taurids

[Kim Youmans]

I had a very good two hour session with the Taurids last night, also. 
During my first hour, the STA's outdid the sporadics, rate wise.
While I did have a -3, a -2, a 0 and a 1, most of the Taurids I saw were 
faint, with no true fireballs.  All told, I saw  18 Taurids out of 42 total 
meteors; only four of those were NTAs.  I had a good smattering of Orionids. 
I hope to have my report posted later today.
