Glad to be home, where I know to look for it just above the Cottonwood tree. West of previous asterism but still easily found. Once I got used to it again, positions are fair. #5 flash preceded by bright Taurid gave impression of it "reflashing" after meteor had burned out! Flaring "up" is my impression that flare glint moved northward during event instead of being "centered" - anyone else ever notice this?
