(meteorobs) Quads 1/4/4 - Greenbelt, MD
Quadrantids from Greenbelt, Maryland - 390016N 0765233W
January 3/4, 2004 07:51 - 09:51 UT
I was able to get a couple hours of Quadrantid observing in before clouds
came. I still had 10% passing clouds to contend with, but conditions were
fairly good considering the moon and location, and I was able to get a couple
hours in from 2:51 to 4:51am EST. The moon was low the first hour and absent
the second hour. I saw 44 meteors, 30 of which were Quadrantids, with an LM
average of 5.15. Below is a short summary of what was seen.
