Not a lot of action on the Lyrids last night, 21/22,Apr,2012, though it was quite clear for a change ? I seen two Lyrids @ aprox mag 0 from GC burbs around midnight, 20mins apart, so packed the tripod & cam, short trip to The Spit for the darker sky to the NE over the Ocean ! Camera doing auto's & the Phone App "Meteor Counter" in hand for NASA !

From about 1:30an to 4am'ish, Not many sparks at all : ( In this time, a Total of 4 Lyrids seen and identified coming for the Radiant, Three of these were around Mag -3 & one was near mag 0 again ? Also seen two nice mag 0 sporadics ! Thus ends another quite Lyrid experience ; )

10-4, over & out , , ,
