...but are going out like a lamb.
Inspired by all the fireball sightings and encouraged by the predictions that the show would continue until the 10th of November, I took advantage of the clear sky last night and set a camera up for almost four hours of recording. All told I captured three Taurids, one reasonably bright one and two that were quite dim, but no dripping fireballs like the one I saw last week. The following images show the brighter meteor of the three and then a stack of 3.75 hours of shooting. I called Logan airport and asked them to shut down for the evening, but it seems that they caved to the customer complaints.

Re: Taurids Came in Like a Lion...
Very nice, Mike. Tough having the flightpath overhead, but still a nice view just the same.
