Reports Report 5745d (Event 5745-2022)

Observer
Name Maggie K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks To try to pinpoint the location, I used adjacent stars. To the NE of Vega and SE of Deneb. From where I was viewing the location was in the area of kappa Cygnus. I was actually facing east when it popped through the sky. Blind in my left eye, I was still able to see it and turn in time to catch the brightest moment. Was in awe of the subsequent trail
