Observer
Name Marc L
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Just caught the begining of this one on the NorthSky cam then it goes out of view.. It started very low looking north just left of Mt Wilson in the San Gabriels. I'll post the capture once it is assigned a AMS Event #. Thanks to the accurate times posted in the reports I was able to find it.. nice Job Paulah M and Micheal D for nailing the time to the exact minute. It will be posted here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVzpGlOJzVvZA5CItF0CAwA?view_as=public
