   We had partly cloudy to mostly cloudy observing conditions with rain 
on and
off all night, but I was able to do an hour of meteor observing. With 
only fair
transparency, and 30% clouds, I was able to see 5 meteors from 7:40 to 
8:40 UT.
The best meteor was a 1st magnitude yellow-green sporadic seen at 8:00 UT.
