While imaging I was enjoying more DSO hunting through the 15×70 celestron binoculars… I was really happy to see M33 which wasn’t even that high in the sky.
That night I saw more meteors than on the peak day. Also noticed one that made an extremely bright flash. I wonder if this is the same one that Tim mentioned when he was up in Tobermory… We both noticed it at around the same time (around 12:30)
