This morning (13AUG2013) at 01:47:52.451-::52.585 PDT 38* 33'/121* 18' my all-sky
camera caught a nice bolide, probably Mag -3 on a radiant that
definitely wasn't Pers.
If we picked a point somewhere between Sadr and Deneb and drew a line
just off Fomalhaut (closer to Skat), that would have been the
path, traveling NW-SE, flaring out somewhere around Skat. Towards
the edge of my calibration, but let's call it from
22h24m58s/+1*26'48" to 22h44m19s/-18*45'32" [of date]
Anyone know off the top of their head if that puts it on a known
radiant or just a particularly nice sporadic?
Video and animated GIF available.
TIA for any thoughts!
