Although not expecting any activity, I observed the morning of December
2nd hoping to catch some early Monocerotids. During the 90 minute watch
I did see 1 MON at 0730 UT but that was the only meteor from that
radiant. The sporadics were fairly active producing 12 in the 90 minute
period. I especially enjoyed the final two meteors of the morning, both
sporadics, and both negative magnitude (-1 and -3). The -3 meteor left a 
short (path) two second train.
