(meteorobs) LYRIDS!

[meteors at eclipse.net]

It was very clear and comfortable this morning, with about 2 hours of high
Lyrid rates. Many negative magnitude with trains. Also a sporadic
fireball, and possible even an ETA; I'll know when I check the plot.

I observed from 0023-0453 EDT (0423-0853 UT), or 6-10 hours after the
scheduled peak time. After the slow previous nights, not what I expected
at all.

Now I remember why I love this sport :)

It will take quite a while to analyze the data, but I'm looking forward to
it!!
