The Quadrantids in 2019: a great show

The maximum of the Quadrantids meteor shower in 2019 was predicted on January 4 at 02h00m UT. This time is very favorable for Europe because the Quadrantids have only a short period with a lot of activity. Despite the fact that the weather in January is usually bad for meteor observations, an analysis was made based on the visual material available. Maximum activity was reached on January 4, 2020 at 02h20m UT with a ZHR of 120, very close to the predicted maximum.
