I didn't bother looking as it was way too low for me.
This years shower was to be a good one too. I'm glad you got to see some, great report and sounds an enjoyable night.

Have you heard about the new shower added to the 2014 list?
Northerners get lucky again! Hourly rate of 100-1,000 on May 24th.
The new addition is called The "Camelopardalids" thanks to periodic comet 209P/LINEAR.

I have heard about it from your posts in the past few days, but thanks for the reminder, it will be going into my observing calendar for sure ! As a bonus it is close to the new moon too
