I counted 570 meteors, and about 530 of those were between 4:45 and 6:00 AM eastern. It was pretty darned foggy, and about 1/4th of the time I could only see the brighter stars, but the rest of the time visibility was OK, and about another 1/4 of the time, visibility was pretty darned good.

About 1/3rd of them were brighter than Jupiter. I saw one that was so bright that it left a trail that was visible for more than 15 seconds. Sometimes a "star" meteor appeared in the constellation Leo. Since the meteors were pretty much going straight toward me, they didn't appear to move much. I saw one meteor that had absolutely NO apparent motion. It looked like a -1 mag star that appeared and then dissappeared after about a second and a half. Once I saw the fog light up for a split second. I didn't see the meteor, but it must have been AWFULLY darned bright.

I also saw a few exploding meteors. They were bright enough to leave a trail, so I could easily see the path it took. The exploding ones left a lump around the middle of the trail, and also changed direction slightly.

I got absolutely no sleep until 6:30 when it began to get light, and then slept until about 1:00.

WOW, it was worth it. The most I had ever seen in one night before that was 109, and that was in two and a half hours. Last night I saw over 500 in just over an hour.
