I think i can call time on the 2023 shower now. A full report is available at the link below, but TLDR:

made 2039 single-station detections, 88% of which were involved in multistation matches, leading to 331 confirmed matched Lyrids. 144 cameras were involved in matches. The brightest was mag -2.6; there were no fireballs or potential meteorite droppers.

The peak of observations was on the night of 23/24 April, but this reflects poor weather (...)

Feeling a bit lazy, but I think I'm going to force myself out to the desert to camp tonight to shoot the meteor shower.

The problem with this area is that Phoenix is to the northeast, so any night photography pointed that general direction has a lot of light glow coming up from behind the mountains. It's not super obvious to the naked eye, but very much shows up during longer exposures.
