Details:
These three Quadrantid meteors were confirmed by using the Sonotaco program UfoAnalyzer.
All three Quadrantids were in the vicinity of the Southern Cross, which is pretty rare because they tend to favor the northern latitudes.
This is a stack of the three Quadrantids that I captured between 08:47:32 and 10:06:57 UTC.
I used the image taken at 10:06:57 UTC as the reference photo because it clearly shows the Southern Cross and Alpha Centauri.
