Hi Peter,
I was almost going to head up to Leyburn this weekend but circumstances changed my plans and we ended up at Canungra.
I use a laser pointer to adjust my scope so I suspect I will be looked upon with leprosy if I did go. If I was going to make a movie about meteorites falling to earth, now I know exactly how to make it real, including the sound effects
Interesting article, but there were certainly no crackles sharp noises.
But yes, an experience I shall treasure for a lifetime as an amateur astronomer.
cheers
Rod
