(meteorobs) Video Observations from Southern CA, January 2, 2010

[Robert Lunsford]

After a cloudy day the clouds began thinning during the evening hours. I was able to start the camera shortly after 2300 PST. Skies 
remained clear the remainder of the night. Morning meteor activity was significantly weaker than what was observed on the previous 
night. Despite being only one day before maximum, the Quadrantids are barely showing any signs of life.
