Interesting stuff, Marco. The Moon phase situation also favors 2005, New
Moon will be Nov. 2, 2005. Next year, a little less favorable as Last
Quarter falls on Nov. 5, 2004. Any year, however, that a 1981-type Taurid
display happens, every meteor observer should make an effort to see it if
they can. It was incredible. Even the weather wouldn't be much of a
concern, because in 1981, the Taurid fireball spectacle when on every night
for almost three weeks!! Could we be so lucky again? Regards, Paul
