CONSTELLATIONS CASSIOPEIA AND ORION FOR ESTIMATING MY LM(THEY'RE THE EASIEST
TO LOCATE).

REMARKS:
1.I SAW MY FIRST COLORED METEOR AT 0029!
2.MY SECOND SESSION'S LM MIGHT OF BEEN AROUND +4.5 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE
NEARLY FULL MOON 15 DEGREES FROM THE HORIZON.
3.MY METEOR AT 0300 HAD ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A GEMINID, BUT THE GEMINIDS
HAVE NOT BEGUN YET; I LABELED IT AS A SPORADIC.
4.AS ALWAYS, MY SECOND SESSION SAW ANOTHER METEOR OUTBURST!
