MAN I'M PROUD OF MYSELF! finally .... after 16 years and 2 weeks... i saw my very first meteor! yeah. the thing was exactly like what you all said! WONDERFUL. it just ZIPPED over a star... can't really recgonise that star , except that before seeing the metoer, i saw a smaller glowing celestial object right beside it. which funnily enough , disappeared after the meteor passed.. its just too bad it didn't rain meteor ...

Hmm... In that case, you didn't see it pass the double star, Gamma Delphinus. The constellatuion Delphinus will only rise at around 9am and will set around 8pm during Jan 2006.

Have a nice day.

Buzy lately hv not find time to upload it yet.. There are many fast meteors in the early am .. leaving behind streaks on peak hold image...
