About the ASVMS and EAMN.

Welcome to the home page of the ASVMS (Astronomical Society of Victoria Meteor Section) and the Eastern Australian Meteor Network (EAMN). We are meteor observers located in Melbourne, Australia.  The groups combine to provide observations of meteor showers and provide data to interested organisations.  The groups run many field trips to observe active meteor showers. For a selection of Leonid 2001 meteor shower images please visit the YAHOO group EAMN
