Observer
Name Anna and Michael M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Very little fading from horizon to horizon, however at ending horizon it seemed to look slightly smaller and light blue. However it was clearly not burnt out yet and continued beyond the horizon. For viewing location, we were at the top of Somes Sound Campground overlooking the water, atop a cliff.
