Arrived at my observing site just as the skies were clearing out
at about 7:15 UT. Started to set up and prepare for a cold night.
Temps were in the high teens here at the site about 75 miles
south of Chicago.

Overall it was a good night out. Many brighter
meteors seen than last year here in central United States
even with moon interference.
