Quadrantid Meteors - January 2012


I was very fortunate to get several hours clear near the peak of the Quadrantids. There were a number or reasonably bright meteors but it wasn't as impressive as the Perseids or Geminids.


On this composite there are nine meteors in almost two hours.


This was before the moon set, hence the blue sky.

On this composite there are a dozen meteors in almost three hours.


This was after the moon set, hence the darker sky.
