It has either been clouds or nothing for me.

I forgot to add that, for my camera, that level of activity has been out of the ordinary for the past few weeks.

My camera picked up 7 meteors last night from 10:42 to 11:34 UT.  Not sure what the radiant was, but if you need further info, I'll try to help.

As you can see from this morning's automatic email (below), our New Mexico stations (the ones in the SE are clouded out) picked up an unusual cluster of eta Aquarid fireballs this morning around 11 UT. Did anyone else see similar?
