This year shower was really good with 5 or six meteors in quick succession followed by a lull for a few minutes then half a dozen more. The weather had been cloudy all week but at 10pm the clouds melted away leaving a still cold and clear night. Jupiter was shining brightly in the constellation of Gemini with Orion between it an the moon. I tried to catch a meteor crossing Orion and this was the closest I could manage. As I was setting up the camera a very large meteor passed right through the viewfinder. It sounds like a fisherman's tail of the one that got away but its true.
