This window of time with no clouds was what I could do for an  
"official" count.
After 11:25UST the clouds came and went so I went to "casual observer  
mode" and saw some more Aurigids (including some dimmer ones) and some  
sporadics through the holes.

Hope such a short TEF is of some value.

It was a nice show.
