The weather bedeviled Cadillac West Star Party (Mich.) @ Long. 85 deg. 50 min; Lat. 44 deg. 15 min. had substantial clearing after midnight and I performed two one hour counts back-to-back, the 2d as dawn came up. 7 shower objects each hour. Zenith star ~6.0 (22 Aur) and M 35 visible to averted vision. I observed the meridian ~ 20 deg. from the zenith.
