Just a quick summary for now.  This morning in 70 minutes Teff
I saw only 13 LEO and 8 others.  However, most of them (8 LEO,
5 others) were in the last 20 minutes Teff (between 11:18 and
11:41 Nov 18 UTC).  Best one was a -4 LEO that made me jump
and say "Whoa!"  Its persistent train lasted 30 to 40 seconds,
just south of Coma Berenices.  I was in the country about 40
miles (64 km) east of my place.  LM was at least +5.5 (faintest
star) if not somewhat better.  Weather was very pretty.  I had
expected to see more "others".  More details later.  Plan to
watch tonight.
