HI All!!

Well went outback to the observatory to observe the planets and 
meteors, and got caught up in Messier objects and the whole bit, 
since it is nice and clear for a change.
Anyway, as I close up the observatory (9:45 pm edt), have to come in 
and get my daughter from work . I look up and there going across the 
sky, a blue/white meteor mag -1.0 med speed, at 9:47 pm edt, that is 
1:47 UT  draw it back right to Draco. Then a sporadic comes in at a 
90 degree angle to the one I just seen.

Of course I cannot count it as I was not meteor observing at the 
time, but it sure was nice anyway. 

This may seem trivial observations, but its my first Draconid, well 
now that I know what shower it was from  : )

Kim
