Sure did! I saw the Anthelion radiants average a ZHR of better than
7 all night on Nov. 17th. They were especially obvious due to the
relatively lower rates of LEO, from my location in Hawaii, as the
excerpt from my report shows:

9 1414-1445 08h +00 0.50 1.00 5.5 8 1 0 0 0 3
(ANT = Anthelion radiant = NTA/STA )
*Note* I am still wondering what significance there might be to the
enhancement of faint sporadics which I observed occur right around
the time of the first LEO maximum at 8 UT on the 17th? Any
suggestions?
