ANYONE SEEN ANY QUADRANTIDS THIS EVENING YET?

[paulastro]

I was out from about 8.10pm to 9.00pm with limited clear patches .  I didn't see any, but the conditions were poor.  Has anyone been out in a good sky and seen a bucket full? 😄.

Monday 2nd Jan I did a bit of meteor watching, the sky was clear for a few hours.  

After 40mins observing from the garden, and not a single meteor I went to bed as it was 1am.

Thanks scotty, the Quadrantis have a sharp maximum, so It's not really surprising.

It's clear now but I think the meteor shower peak has gone.

My All Sky Camera hasn't picked up a single one in 5 hours of clear skies tonight.

I was trying to find Comet 67P with a DSLR camera and tripod. I couldn't locate it, so gave up and tried a few M42 shots.

 I think I may of seen that meteor you captured,  from here it was in the east, and heading south. It wasn't very bright from my location. 

I was outside between 22.30-23.20

Cool,

That capture of mine was at 2022-01-04T22-57-41-874 (precisely!) So basically just before 11pm/

Thats a classic meteor trail.

Caught this with my guide cam last night when setting up (the bright star is Polaris) - looks like a meteor?

Unlike TerraC's, yours is uniform brightness  - I'd say it was a satellite.

I think that's the one my girlfriend told me she'd seen. It was blue and white. I missed seeing them as the skies weren't great here so I stayed indoors

Saw one around 11pm. I was out observing the Orion nebula with the scope and at one point when just looking up I  saw  a middling-bright meteor to the East of Orion heading South (down).

I'm pleased some of you saw some meteors 😊.
