Aurigids

Last night, I reviewed my star chart, and understood that the Aurigid constellation was to the NE, between Orion and the North Star.

At 2 p.m., the night sky, bright with a just-past-full moon, and city lights, held no meteors.

At 4:20 a.m., I went outside and stood in the DMV parking lot, behind my house. I saw one meteor, then nothing. After awhile, I said to myself, "I am S-O-O-O sleepy!"

So, just one meteor for the night, and I'll have to wait till 2100, or so, to see more Aurigids.
