I was just getting my camera, drink, lollies, beanie etc ready to come up here to the club site for Aurora imaging so I must have just missed it. I was out the door by 9pm. Must have happened while I was putting everything in the box ready to go.

Hi Paula,
Yep sure did, :eyepop:it was a cracker wasn't it, big green fiery phosforesing tail and then exploding into two main pieces.
West to East trajectory, first sight just East of Crux and then an amazing burn all the way down below my surrounding tree line.
A very exiting five seconds or so.:thumbsup:
