Well, according to the IMO's meteor recognizer software, there was not a 
single Alpha Aurigid this morning. My intensified video camera recorded 130 
meteors in 3.43 hours. 127 of these were sporadic and 3 were antihelion 
meteors. I have no reason to doubt the results as the software did a great 
job on the recent Perseid shower. Perhaps the AUR's are saving themselves 
for the big show next year!
