Greetings listoids, Saw this posted in a Utah astronomy forum, but it was captured at one of my old SoCal observing sites. Pretty nice work, though the meteor is simply 'burning up', as most do... not 'exploding'. Linton

Aloha folks, All this talk about new falls, L6's, etcetera, got me curious... There's 158 falls listed in the Met Bull for the USA. So California has it's "fair share", though for it's size and population, one might expect more. Did anyone mention that Novato was an L6? Texas is a big state -

Hmm... interesting topic. I started out somewhat slowly, but soon went overboard with new acquisitions. For me, anyway. I've begun to thin out my collection a bit, but I'm certainly not ready to give it all up yet. Still, I need to strike a reasonable balance. I want to retain a respectable
