REMARKS:
Hello,
The Full Moon was a force to be reckoned with again.
Meteor #9 was a memorable one that made staying out to observe worth the time and effort.
Meteor #22 was very, very fast and bright!
Meteor #26 was one I wasn't sure what velocity to mark down for it so I labeled it a FLASH.
I hope this lines up.
Clear skies,
-SID!
