Last night the objects were in the evening sky and I was
hoping for a nice bright display but that did not occur.

The first group made roughly 42 degree elevation passes
rising in the southwest and moving to the northeast around
1:45 UT on 27 February 2021.

The first object was the brightest reaching naked eye brightness
around magnitude 2 near Procyon.  I watched about another eight
that were faint in 7x50 binoculars so perhaps magnitude 5 with
a full moon not helping.

Since they seemed to be predominantly faint objects I quit
observing the first group.  The second group had a less favorable
pass so I did not look at those.
