G'Day All

Looks like most of the Eastern Seaboard was clouded out, although Melbourne
was clear, (but sky conditions not good). I observed from roughly radiant
rise to Nautical twilight.

Site, Melbourne, Victoria.
Lat:   37deg 27' S
Long: 144    58  E

Limiting Magnitude 4.5

16.00 UT on the 17th is 2.00 AEST on the 18th in Australia
============================================
Time (UT)     LEO     SPO
============================================
16.00-17.00   1        1
17.00-18.00   1        0
============================================

One was of Mag +3, the other a fireball of Mag -3.0 which started near the
radiant, and burnt out near Orion. It had a long, relatively persistant,
orange tail.

Cheers! Ian
