I'm a couple of hundred+ plus kms south of you at around 8pm? a lil
after the All Blacks victory
I observed a rather bright meteor to
the south. What time did you observe it? may of seen the same thing.
It was heading directly down from around the SCP with a slight easterly
direction.
There are a 3-4 active showers throughout July with 7 active at the
months end. the Southern Delta-Aquarids is the one to look out four.
If you like imaging this type of thing, around the 28th July would be
a good chance for wide field (fisheye lens) long exposures. You might
capture multiple meteors.
