(meteorobs) Observation 01-15/16-00 (with giggles)

     Exceptionally clear skies allowed my to get out and shiver under the stars for two hrs of observing time Sunday morning.  Most remarkable aspect of the session was the transparency of the skies, allowing me to record a single LM reading of +6.78 (IMO 9).  Rates were rather high between 08:30 and 09:00 UT.  Spent a lot of time listening to Charlotte Church giggle at most every question asked of her by the WOWO interviewer the first period.
