Fireball over Brisbane this morning!
Hi all,
Did anyone else see the very bright meteor (most likely an alpha Capricornid) at about 4:55 this morning? I was down at the local park ready to photograph the ISS, and happened to be looking up at the right time. I estimate the magnitude was about -4. It was heading towards Orion, and it must have travelled across 80 degrees of sky. The meteor itself was bright white, but it left a beautiful orange persistent trail with smaller spark-like fragments as it broke up. Definately the most spectacular one I've seen! Hope others saw it as well.
Cheers,
Stephen
