Observer
Name Jack B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks the time of viewing is approximate as i was in the garden with family and had no way to keep track of actual time, i'm fairly certain its a reasonable accurate estimation though. It is difficult to estimate the brightness but it created a halo as it appeared to pass behind or through the clouds
