           Screech Owl Hill Observatory,  Mountain Meadows  
                  Mathias, West Virginia - January 12, 2016

I missed the Quadrantids due to poor observing conditions.  I was
finally able to get an hour watch in under good conditions last night.
Of course,  the Quadarantids were over, but I was able to see good 
Antihelion (ANT) and Sporadic (SPO) activity from 5:58 to 6:58 UT.  
I was planning on observing meteors longer,  but some clouds moved 
in and ended the show.  The best meteors was a 0 magnitude ANT 
seen at 6:24, and a 0 magnitude medium-slow SPO at 6:41 UT. Both
had the same nice yellow-orange color.
