George responded: "It was the Quadrantid shower which peaked in the early morning today (5 am PST)" Phil added: "I was out at 6:00 a.m. ... During the 5 minute walk, I saw 7 meteors" Hello All, See also S & T, Jan 2009, pp. 71-72 (excerpt): The Peekaboo Quadrantids The Quad shower is elusive because it's brief. At its peak it can produce 120 or more meteors visible per hour ..., but the peak lasts just a few hours at most. This year the peak is ... ideal for western North America, where the time is 5 a.m. PST before the first light of dawn.
