(meteorobs) Big Battle, NWS vs ClearSkyClock

[Pierre Martin]

Hi Wayne,

A -12 !!  Wow, you lucky dog :0)  It sure looks like a nice clear  
hole will be parked above New Jersey tonight so maybe you'll luck in  
and get another ORI flash bulb? ;0)

After I had a successful Sunday morning session, I got washed-out for  
the past two nights.  Tonight is also hopelessly rained out.  But I'm  
very hopeful for tomorrow night and possibly Friday morning --  
looking forward to a few hours tEFF in before dawn.

Good luck to you and all with post-max Orionids... at least the  
Moon's waning :0)
