(meteorobs) ATR Observations: East Georgia September 11, 2005

[Kim Youmans]

I was able to put in two hours observing (from 3 - 5 AM) this morning,
hoping to observe activity from the suspected Aries-Tiangulum
radiants.  I met with limited success, with three possible 
ATR meteors.  I also saw three September Perseids, all with trains.
No Kappa Aquarids were seen.  Skies were transparent and LMs 
were quite good.
