Paul,
 
I notice you were not out too deep into the overnight, undoubtedly to better catch Taurid fireballs :)
 
Are you going to try for early morning Leonids overnight tonight when Leo is higher in the sky?
 
 
Thanks as always for sharing your observations.
 
 
Bill G.

Finally another clear night!  I observed four hours with a 15 minute break between 3rd and 4th hours to rest my eyes and warm my fingers.  Taurid activity was good the first hour and non-existent the fourth hour.  No Andomedids, November Orionids, Orionids or Zeta Cancrids were seen.
