About this image

The brief Quadrantid maximum was expected on the evening of January 3. This composite image from one of my north-facing cameras recorded 4 QUAs between 17:26 and 17:30. Cloud encroached and I recorded another 3 between 19:12 and 20:22, then heavy cloud persisted until 6 am giving 3 more QUAs.

My other RMS and UFO cameras obtained patchy coverage of the Quadrantids' peak, their various alignment azimuths capturing different numbers of QUAs.
