Was up working some doubles and took 10 minutes between 8:35am-8:45am UTC to watch for meteors at Little Mtn before heading home. Saw - 1 - mag 0, 1 - mag 1, 1 - mag 3 all associated with the del Aqu radiant. A fourth mag 1 came from the direction of Perseus and was unassociated with the either shower. - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
