Ok, will do! I was going to upload it the other night but various
things got in the way. I'll stick it up this evening.

Oh, but if you're lucky with the weather, it could be a stunning event.
Don't know if you've ever heard of Asher and McNaught? Two astronomers
who predicted last year's peak to within a couple of minutes AND
predicted its intensity very accurately. They reckon this year's peak
will be a very big one. Definitely worth catching a cold for!
I've got a happy dilemma - whether to watch the meteors from an
overnight plane to sydney (no worries about weather, just got to make
sure I get a window seat!) or from somewhere on the ground in Oz
(weather possibly an issue, but unrestricted view). It's a tricky one!
But one way or another I'll be looking for them that night.
