Dear Zs,

Dragged myself, wife and son out of bed at 02:00 this morning, filled the 
thermos, 
and set out for an 80km drive NE of Melbourne.  Found a *very* quiet area and 
set up 2 OM-1s on tripods at about 03:40 to catch the Leonids.  We had seen a 
couple of big streaks from the SUV before we actually arrived.  Once our eyes 
were dark adapted the display was incredible and continued until about 05:00 
when the light in the sky washed out most of the stars (along with the 
meteors).  I 
don't know what the photographic results will be like, but the effort was worth 
it 
just for the event itself.
