Video Meteor Observations from Southern California 2011-01-28 UT

The sky was clear the entire night. Activity was down significantly from last night. While the Antihelions produced normal
activity, the December Leonis Minorids only produced one meteor the entire night. The highlight of the session were the three Alpha
Centaurids recorded during the last two hours of the night. I was expecting perhaps one, but recording three this far in advance
from the maximum is surprising. Seeing three in a single night from 32 degrees north latitude is also a treat.
