Hi Ted, The 17078B/43040 fireball was captured by an all sky camera on Cerro Paranal, where the European Southern Observatory operates the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The all sky camera (MASCOT: https://www.eso.org/sci/facilities/paranal/instruments/mascot.html), shows the fireball on an exposure starting at 05:27:43UT with a 90s exposure. The trail of the fireball follows the right track across the sky (below the Southern Cross), though a few minutes early on the earliest JSpOC elset predictions. The original MASCOT FITS file can be downloaded from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gj5wkqvu7ef8tuc/MASCOT.2018-03-10T05%3A27%3A42.998.fits?dl=0, while a PNG plot is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7iaszxdlbg3fth4/MASCOT.2018-03-10T05%3A27%3A42.998.fits.png?dl=0 The fireball track is in the top right while the white line from the middle right are the laser guide stars of the VLT. Cerro Paranal is at 24.6276 deg South, 70.4051 deg east, at an elevation of 2648m.
