A small bit about myself, Im an Aussie, living in Ireland on & off for the past 8 years, self employed pc tech, but qualified as a Network Admin, always looking skywards, have been lucky enough to see both the Southern & Northern lights, and Halleys Comet in the 80's plus many other awesome sights, usually just being in the right place at the right time! I have a small telescope which I am still learning to use, right now I am living in a rural area with a very good unlimited view to the sky with no interferring artifical lights.
Cheers for now.

Would just like to say hello, and quietly check out whats going on in the northern sky, I did post yesterday regarding the colorful object that swept across the Tipperary sky on the evening of the 25th Oct, which is how I found you all.

Can I ask where in Tipperary are you (without giving a complete address).
You might not be too far from us in limerick, Shannonside AC might be your nearest club, if so you're more then welcome to come along if your interested.
As for Qs, all you need do is put them up.

Thanks for the welcome, I guess the closest, biggest town to me would be Cashel, close enough anyway, without giving too much away mind you, not a member of any astronomy group, although I do gather a couple of friends and a couple of bottles of Jacobs Creek & head outside on appropriate evenings, although Im the only one patient enough to use the telescope. Its only after Ive done the hard work that we hear the ooooo's and ahhh's.
Cheers Cheryl
PS Where abouts in Limerick? I wouldnt mind catching a meeting or two perhaps.

I didn't see any follow-up on the meteor but maybe drop Astronomy Ireland a line and see if they have received any reports? I think their report e-mail address is observe@astronomy.ie
