I had to go out a couple of times today, so I left the FDM-S2 recording in the hope of catching any sporadic E. Nothing materialised, but I thought I may as well look at the files and see if there was any interesting meteor scatter. Here's a record of everything which came though. Not bad for daytime MS.

Good DX!
