Fireball last night!
About 9:20pm AEDST last night, I was standing outside looking up, contemplating whether to set the scope or camera up.. I decided not to, as it was very windy and the transparency was (as usual, lately) poor.
While looking up, a nice orange (sporadic?) fireball streaked from zenith towards the South-East, covering about 30° of sky. It moved fairly fast, and was over in about 3 seconds, but it had a nice flickering/sparking tail that was about 2° long.
A very nice sight.
