 It sorta cleared here in Halifax and that gave me a chance to view them
unfortunately from my balcony. Clods and an odd shower did occur, but
my luck was not with me trying to get photos, I'd point at Orion and they
would fall elsewere, I would move the camera and , yep, the odd bright
one would go through Orion!

Anyways, this is what I have so far. My star magnitude varied from 4 to
overcast at 0700-0800 UT. Also damp and light pollution a bit noticable.
