[Richard Taibi]

Sorry- sky is overcast and raining at 3:45 UT on the 23rd.  Forecast for the metro Washington, D.C. area is clouds and rain until Thursday the 25th.  I wish I could see this!

Hello Peter,  Bill,  and all !
I just return from an observation here in south-eastern France, started at 21h30 UT and ended at 01h15  UT. I saw a good activity from the ursids : a dozen per hour under a sky with LM 5-5,5 and a low  radiant. I think we can have a ZHR nearly 50 in this conditions .

Reports come later.

I hope that other observers can confirm this outburst.
Clear skies !

>> FYI, looks like there is a fairly strong Ursid outburst in progress – started in the last hour or so. Not sure of the ZHR/rates but looks to be quite strong – many tens per hour at least.
