(meteorobs) Viewing session from Dec20/21



Took the opportunity to go out an observe this morning, temp was -5.5C or 21F 0 mph wind.
Observed from 7:15 UT to 9:15 skies were a decent 6.1 LM for entire session.
In that time observed 11 meteors,
4 were within a 10 degree radius of RA 12:40 Dec 49:17 just to right of the big dippers handle.
3 were  sporadics all occuring 20-30 degrees below big dipper-
3 were good Ursid candidates,  and one began just at alpha ursa major.
I observed 4 meteors in a 7 minute period 8:20 to 8:27 UT.
Will follow up with formal report in next few days.
