Click for HI-RES image 		2 bright-meteors (very stubby) near "handle" of Big Dipper. These were observed visually. 1 other meteor at upper-left (very hard to see in image, but it's there). There is 1 long faint meteor (vertical) to the right of bowl of Big Dipper (a Taurid?). The radiant is from Leo, which is just above the East horizon (to the right of the image).

Note the slight cloud interference, near the horizon (as indicated by the blue-haloed stars of the Big Dipper).
