This is easily the best show I have seen since the Leonids of 2001. |
And there I was being excited at getting 39!
Nice report there Ian.
Thank you to all those who gave their reports.

Forgot to add, thanks for the thread Suzy! Would've missed it otherwise

That's a lovely story, Chris, and something you will always cherish and remember now.
Marty, seems like you have a budding astronomer grandson!
As a fellow Brisbane-ite, it was good to hear your tally of getting so many! You caught nearly the same amount as me in half the time.
I'm guessing it's because I don't have a low horizon to the north- i.e. I have a big garage shed blocking my view grrrr.
