Direction: South to north
Meteor Spotted: 1
Observing Duration: 1 hour

You aren’t going to believe it! I spotted a Leonid which travels from south to north. It looked like a burning fireball. I thought it was firework. After it disappeared in the sky, I just realised that it’s a meteor. However, I am not sure whether it’s Leonid since it’s two days before the predicted date. Anyway, prepare a mat in your garden or your favourite dark site and stare at the mysterious sky! There is no surprise that you can spot 100 meteors per hour.

The sky yesterday was extremely clear. I was playing with my LX90 but seems like it didn’t favour me as it’s kept in the cabinet for an extra long period. It’s time to have some tune-ups.
