Meteors Last Night



I have just scanned a few of the images taken last night.  I have already 
found 3 meteors.  The night of the Leonids I found 4.  All three were 
coming from slightly north of east, with the telescope pointing near due 
south at near zero declination.   The trails were all short, 1/4 to 1 
degree in length.  They were all pretty faint.  Just visible against the 
background of a 60 second exposure in the burbs with the 100 mm f/4 optics.

Was there any known meteor shower last night??  Evening of 26 November, 2002.
