Sounds great Ian.
I was also out wanting to check out a comet, but also to see the meteors and planets. A lot going on as had to lug scope a distance and was more focused on setting up scope and trying (unsuccessfully) to locate Comet C/2011 C1 MacNaught.
Despite this, I could see quite a few very bright meteors, and ended up sitting back to watch them instead.
The planets also looked stunning. Certainly a lovely morning to be out.
