Hey Richard,
With all that booze you'd be a Knight who said Hic.........right then on to
business.......I would like a ....SHRUBBERY!!!
Wow a -5 meteor cool I wish I would have stayed up longer, I did however
get some pretty good views of Jupiter, which had a really cool dark barge on
its NEB, the seeing was'nt good enough to take more than about 300X.
Hey Attilla can I upload a whole whack of shrubbery pics???
I think this is a great tonic for all the bs lately ie lots of silliness!!

As for the meteor, Janice and Roland had plied me with prodigious
amounts of alcohol, so I saw nothing!! Just kidding, the meteor was
bright, but the halo was INCREDIBLE!!

We looked at the sky when Richard was leaving, just after 11pm, and
noticed a very prominent and quite large ice haze cicle around the
moon. Best one I've seen thus far. We are talking about 50 to 60
degrees in diameter. The band of this circle was perhaps 10
degrees
wide. To top it all off, while we were looking up, a magnitude -5
(?)
meteor zoomed across the circle, under the moon, to end in a bright
white ball at the opposite side of the circle, near the edge. Very
bright, many times brighter than Jupiter. Nice co-incidence that
we
were looking up at that time & from that angle, to see such a
diamond
ring effect.
You never know what you'll see when you look up!
Let Photons Rule! ;-)

PS- Ni! Ni! Ni!
