 Blessed with a few clear nights and a diminishing moon, I managed to
 get out and "catch" a few meteors.  I thought these slow nights would
 be good to help develop my still-green skills.  Slow would
 be a great exaggeration!  Still, the lulls were useful in that I could
 spend time orienting myself for the coming spring showers...

I'm sure the computer will scramble my data...hope its not too bad...
