meteors over Townsville

[Alexandra Appleman <>]

Just fo rthe record, Marleen Acton and I watched ~ 20 meteors, some quite
impressive, between 2.45 and 3.30 am this morning; she from her verandah,
me from the comfort of my bed which faces east.  We are in Townsville, NQ
lat 19*19'S, long 146* E.  I also saw a large-tailed nightjar over the
treetops.

For birding-aus subscribers or saBirdnet and birdchat subscribers, it's
worth taking a look even if your interests are more avian than astronomical.

Cheers
