Nov 17/18 waw clouded out here until 03 UT, then the bright Moon and hazy sky restricted my south-facing cameras. They captured up to 5 Leonids per camera; my north-facing cameras got twice that number. In conditions like that, the UFO cameras outperform the RMS ones.
Nov 16/17 had variable cloud and recorded even fewer meteors.

As well as Leonids, the sigma Hydrids were active, the trickle of Northern Taurids continued and a few alpha Monocerotids were detected. A clear sky (and without the blazing Moon) would have been quite productive.
