                 September 27th, 28th, & 30th 2014

We had a very clear night after some rain on the 27th, followed by
a good clear night on the 28th, and a hazy but clear night on the
September 30th. I was able to get a total of 6 hours Teff in of meteor
observing.  Activity was fair for the Delta Aurigids (DAU), with a
possible mini-outburst on the morning of the 30th from 4:19 to 4:37
UT (18 mins) when 4 DAU were seen. The STA activity was good and a few
from the Orionids were also seen. The best two meteors were both DAU
and of -1  magnitude. One seen at 6:22 UT on the 27th had a 5 second
train, and the other was seen on the 30th at 4:37 UT that had a 6 sec.
duration train.
