This is another very bright event. Good rank. Karl's just above the northern limit and worth a go. It goes right across Jordan's back yard. Kirk plans to try from the Eco Reserve, and I from up Graham Hill Rd at a turnout.
Alt=73, Az=243 in Taurus

I observed from the turnout on the west side of Graham Hill Rd, just a couple hundred yards south of RollingWoods Drive. Conditions were excellent, except for the traffic lights. But the target was vertically overhead and the dew shield worked to keep out competing lights.

I got a clear 0.3011s event for Runcorn, March 18, 1x at the BD eco reserve. Luckily although it was high elevation I could get it without the diagonal and there were two other stars almost as bright I could use for tracking in PyMovie.
