been crook with a bad cold last coupla days, didnt dare push my luck by going out in the cold morning air not that conditions were ideal anyway here, fairly cloudy mostly oh well i live vicarously thru all your accounts

great and interesting reports tho everybody! onya's
keep the meteorobs flame burning
sounds like a reasonable show for some, specially for Ian up north in the box seat!

I know what its like Chris, a friend and I once did the ETA's with a primitive hand guided set up wide field 28mm film, for 5 hours over two consecutive mornings, and got one puny ETA! lol, and many other times with tripods with a few showers, got zip mostly, they're very camera shy eh, you have to watch the fov of camera like a hawk, and stop the exposure soon as you see one in fov, or you will wash it out if you continue with exposure, (dunno if that still applies so much to digital tho?) being a shortlived light source however bright, unlike stars ect
. has to be a speccy show on to get good results sometimes lol

nice shots mate, that zodiacal light is great
