23 December 2006 08:55-12:00 UT (CST 22/23 Dec 2006 02:55-06:00am)
It was overcast here the night of Dec 21/22. The night of Dec 22/23 holes began
appearing in the overcast ~2:15 am CST and by the time I got set up to observe
the northern half of the sky was clear. But it was too long past the Ursid max
to see much.
