(meteorobs) Observations March 22/23-00



    I returned to my site once again last evening to resume my VERY early evening observations.
The skies were just a bit hazier than the previous evening, dropping my LM's just a tad bit.
Activity proved to be higher also, with six meteors seen in 1.67 hrs Teff.  No anti-apex or Camelopardalids were seen, but three meteors appeared within 40 minutes time, moving at a slowish speed, all traceable back to Leo's rear haunch at 11hrs 20 min +23.  I will keep a close eye on this area tonight if the weather allows me to return again.
