(meteorobs) Late report - Was a 7.5 sec. fireball.

[Larry]

Hi GeoZay.
I'm not good at this either, but using an astronomy program I come up with:

START
RA 19 hrs 41'
Dec = 21 deg

END:
RA 22 hrs 35'
Dec = -10 deg 11'

This fireball was a little over 7 seconds, not 3.6 seconds(my error) and 
appears to travel on the celestial equator. Is that significant?
