(meteorobs) Early Quadrantids Attempt

[Pierre Martin]

Hello all,

I am making an attempt for the Quads tonight, expecting a clear sky in the wake of a cold front (-21C or -6F overnight).

Hope more of you luck in with clear skies,

Pierre Martin
Ottawa, Ontario

P.S. My reports for the Geminids in Texas are coming soon. It was amazing!!!

I was outside from 7:30 - 9:00 UT January 3 with a clear sky and LM = 5.1 before moonlight started to wash out the faintest stars, but I didn't log a single Quadrantid. Three meteors total ... 1 Alpha Hydrid (+2.0 mag.), 1 Anthelion (+2.0 mag.) and 1 Sporadic (+1.0 mag.) Just below freezing with a breeze making a wind chill that was several degrees colder. I hope the rest of you have better luck! We're forecast to have clouds and scattered snow flurries for the Quadrantid peak on Monday morning.
