I scanned with my 10x50s and spotted a fast moving object right where Meteor
1-2 r should have been, low to the ENE. I was only able to track it for a
few seconds before i lost it but the object was moving in the right
direction. I don't have an exact time as i had my hands full but it was
between at 06:45:05 and 06:45:10 10 Jun UTC +/- 2 sec. It was at approx
Azimuth 070 degrees Elev under 10 degrees. I went upstairs and looked out
the window so that i could see over top of the trees behind my house. It's
predicted peak was Azim 63 degrees Elev 8 degrees at 06:44:51 10 Jun UTC.

Thanks Alan for the head's up.
