A
few Quadrantid successes during the early morning of the
3rd Jan 2009. Most of the Quadrantids caught were faint
with one exception, a lovely trail passing into the bowl
of the Plough. Unfortunately, the brightest meteor of the
session wasn't a quadrantid.

The Quadrantids
peaked over North America this Saturday morning January
3, with unexpectedly high rates. Observing and photographing
the shower from rural eastern Ontario, I recorded 197 Quadrantids
in a little over two hours. The most active hour shortly
before dawn had 107 Quadrantids. A great show!! I aimed
my Canon
30D, ISO 1250, with a 20mm f2.8 lens in the direction
of Leo, which was setting in the west, and took several
short exposures. This image is a composite of all frames
with captured meteors. The brightest meteors on the photo
are about mag -1. I also had another camera taking several
short exposures towards Ursa Minor, and I'm including this
composite result too. |

This
photograph shows one of the stunning Quadrantids from the
Jan 3, 2009 shower/storm. Tonight was an awesome spectacle,
showering us with meteors faster than we could count them.
This was easily one of the finest showers we've ever seen,
rivaling even the Gemenids of 2001. Photo Credit: j.reynolds,

This
is a video allsky composite image of 130 meteors captured
on the morning of January 3. Because most of the meteors
happened over just a few hours, the radiant is very apparent.

My
husband got up for his morning walk, looked in a window
and said: "A beautiful shooting star!" It was less than
an hour before sunrise. I overslept. In no time I got up
and run to backyard. High clouds and twilight made only
very few, bright stars visible.Still I observed two bright
and beautiful Quadrantid meteors and was able to capture
one of them on film.
