Reports Report 1120c (Event 1120-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Used a phone app Night Sky to determine where it was in the sky. It was hazy and only a few stars were visible, but it seemed to be above Gemini and Orion, which were on the western horizon, and went almost straight up (which I know is an illusion caused by perspective). The app said it was mostly in Lynx and the app matched well with the few stars I could see. |
