Shooting Star ove SE Oz

Did anyobe see the commet enter the atmosphere somewhere to the east of SE Oz on Tuesday night, about 10pm. I was with a student climbing out of Denilequin, our HDG gave us a perfect view through the windshield and climbing through 9000 we were above all the haze so we had the most magnificent view.

In all it lasted about 20 seconds, looked very much like the sparks one gets when angle grinding, and litup the whole quadrant of the sky.

Awesome stuff.
