This might be a good question for Kurt: Is there a specific technique for estimating meteor brightness? I've always tried to estimate the brightness of the head or fireball itself, but is this correct?

All were shower members and most were fairly bright (don't know how to estimate magnitude of meteors). Most were in the predicted 60 - 70 degree altitude band. Clouded up about 5:40 ending the brief but pretty show. Randy ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Be a better Heartthrob.
