I remember reading about the "false dawn" in a novel about Africa when I was a child, but I'd never seen it until I became educated as an amateur astronomer about 20 years ago. I love seeing the ZL in the mornings in the fall, when the Pleiades appear to be enveloped in its glow. My most memorable observation of the ZL light occurred in the fall at the Wedge Overlook a few years ago. The sky was unusually dark and transparent, even for central Utah. As the ZL first became visible in the pre-dawn sky, I noticed that it wasn't simply the usual cone of brightness that I'd seen before; it was possible to trace a band of light all the way across the ecliptic, including a discernible brightening at the anti-solar point, the Geggenshein, my first observation of that phenomenon. Dave Bernson was with me, and of course, it was nothing new or unusual for him. It was he who identified the anti-solar point and the Geggenshein, and I later confirmed it at home on my star atlas. Alas, I think it was also the last time that I've seen the Geggenshein.
