  • Hey nice event. The flash at the end looks most interesting. Were there other chords to confirm sateroid? Respectfully DaveG Australia

  • Hi Dave...no we think it might have been a graze event, like a valley along the edge. I was very near the west (north) edge of the path. We have no other chords nearby to confirm.

  • Yes, thinking about it overnight, a grazing event is the most plausible. Congratulations anyway. Most spectacular. The best I've done is a slow R! Are you a member of IOTA or similar? I don't recognise your handle "bwtimer". Regards DaveG
