This required some hard work to get done, but it was fun and I learned a lot by doing it. Thanks for your tip about the moon on Oct 4th and 5th. I wouldn't have been able to do this without that info. The other funny thing about that night.... Aries was rising right above the moon, like it was watching over the moon. Why is this interesting? I'm an Aries (spooky xfiles sound here). Another interesting thing, the trajectory line intersects the star Aldebaran at the horizon. Aldebaran is called 'The Bulls Eye' (more spooky music) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldebaran" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldebaran</a> The conclusion I get from this is Rob Matson's prediction is on the mark. I just have to look harder. If you can make any sense, improvements or observations out of the calibrated photo, star maps or ground track please lmk. Thanks, Mike Mark.

That is totally awesome. Having the moon line up for you just like that is completely out of this world. Among meteorite hunting, this effort of yours is nothing if not legendary. But don't get discouraged: if finding this space rock were all too easy, you wouldn't be learning so much about how the wheels in the sky go round and round. Wow. That is totally awesome.
