(meteorobs) Observations Nov 05/06 2005 Coweta, OK USA

[Bill Godley]

I let the dog out at 10 pm and promptly saw a nice
negative-mag meteor with a train.  With a smile I went
back inside.  Woke up four hours later, bundled up and
spent an hour and a half seeing all of 10 meteors. 
Fortunately, right before closing time I saw a
beautiful point meteor brighten to a -2 crescendo and
then disappear.
