Hi,
Clouded out last night and tonight looks no better so no visual or video observations of the quadrantids from here.
Put the radio receiver on for a few hours and picked up some good activity earlier.
This is an image frame from the HROFFT software that counts the meteors automatically. Very good but it misses a lot.
Using a visual inspection of the day's recording I drew up this graph.
By reckoning of the trend line the peak was at 12:12 UT+/- 12 minutes. About an hour earlier than the IMO prediction. As the highest counts were all before noon so the max might well have been even earlier.
Cheers,
Bill.
