[Pierre Martin]

Hi Paul!

Fantastic report!!!  I was out on the morning of the 6th, saw a few nice ETAs!!

Getting set for tonight, ahead of tomorrow’s Mercury Transit, and your report has me eager to observe.  Weather is looking good.

Clear skies!

Yes, both the "eta radiants" were popping this morning, I also had 8 eta Lyrids in the amazing 2 hours in addition to all the ETAs.  I even saw another gorgeous -2 ETA burst through twilight as I was driving back home from Matanzas Inlet session this morning - AWESOME!  Still crunching numbers, full report to follow.  Even though I gotta go back to work tomorrow, I'm planning on getting out again in the morning, this show is just too doggone amazing to miss!

Also, had a -3 and a -2 ETA in the first hour!  Overall meteor count in the second hour was 43!  66 overall total in the two hours - ETA counts of 9 and 24. More later when I crunch all the numbers and get some shut eye, I'm starting to run on empty...;o).
