Average one to two good hits per hour with persistant scatter here.  At least one to two per day are big ones with spectral details from fragmentation.

Hi James,

Well, I am not keeping counts of individual meteors these days but am 
mostly concentrating on capturing significant fireballs.  Activity has 
been generally slow since the January Quadrantids but meteor rates are 
picking up now and I have seen a couple of Eta Aquarids the past two days. 

I haven't seen an extra-ordinary meteor since last October so I think I 
am statistically due for a big one.

Clear skies to you,
Thomas
