Observation

Because of inclement weather in Sarasota, the night of the Quarantid meteor shower, some of my friends and I drove south, to Fakahatchee State Park, where there was a clearer and darker sky. There were still some clouds and a last quarter moon which partially obscured our view, but between us we managed to see some 15 meteors in the few hours we watched the sky.
