** Personal 'First'

The results of the 2015 Quadrantids shower. A BIG disappointment. The above log includes everything I identified.

The peak of any activity seemed to be during daylight hours yesterday 3rd. Sunrise on the 4th was probably the worst time. Meteor showers don't always go according to the forecasts.

Hopefully, the rest of January and February will be as lively for meteor scatter as they were in 2014.

Good DX!
