An incredible night. Since I plot almost all meteors, the sky played with me all 
night.
3 meteors in the first minute, 2 other occurences of simultaneous meteors. Not 
fun when you are plotting. All plot times measured from audio tape to derive 
Teff. 

The first hour was amazing
with 17 total meteors. Rate decreased all night as LM improved?!

I examined SPE's for correlation with IMO radiant (064, +48) and that derived by
Sirko Molau [IMC 2006](053, +40). Of the 5 SPE's, 3 aligned better with SM, 1 
better with IMO 
position, and 1 was a tossup. (3.5 SM, 1.5 IMO).
 

9 satellites observed, 8 of them in the last observing period.
