Video Meteor Observations from Southern California 2011-01-22 UT

Sorry I have been away so long. I have been very busy with a new job and other projects that have taken away my spare time for most of 2010. Hopefully 2011 will allow me to be more active on this list!

Due to bad weather and computer problems, this was my first video observing session of 2011. The sky was clear the entire night.
Activity was good despite the bright moon, just a few days past full. Automatic generated plots revealed a sharp radiant south of
Corvus near 13:30 -30, which produced four meteors. A fifth passed just a few degrees to the east. Other than that rates appeared
normal for this camera setup.
