(meteorobs) Taurids 02 Nov 2015

[Paul Martsching]

I went out for a couple hours the night of 01/02 November.  It was clear when I got to McFarland Park, but soon it was 10 percent cloudy gradually increasing to 25 percent clouds.  During this hour I saw a +2 NTA and a couple sporadics, but conditions  were too poor to report.  The second hour was mostly clear.  I was able to watch a while after Moon rise, because it came up behind a strip of cloud near the NE horizon.

NTA: three: 0(2); +2
