| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Liz B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have an image acquired on my DSLR in raw format (a 15 s exposure) which will give more accurate info than my guesses at direction etc. I was waiting to photograph a pair of Iridium flares due at 1752, and have photos of those too. I wasn't sure that what I had seen was a meteor, but sent photo to UK Meteor Network and they said it was. |
