HI all,

We counted about 12 meteors between 4am and 4:30am
this morning that were definitely Aurigids.  While
24/hr is not exactly a storm level, it was an
opportunity to not only see a shower that is not
normally seen, but to test out our new Sigma 8mm
Fisheye we just got on the sky.  

The lens performs superbly, and we got 3 meteors:
