Seen 104 meteors last night and glimpsed the spiral galaxy M81 with the naked eye when it was well placed at the zenith. Also seen 16 naked eye Pleiades members and observed pink and purple colours in the Orion nebula using the 16" at 57X...a fantastic night!
Thats quite a lot of meteors... you must have been out for like, all night!

I was out for a long time then again before dawn. My dark adaption was at its best so i could see very faint meteors which really brought the count up.

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680
