| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andrew B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I've observed many meteors, have imaged them, and also have observed artificial satellites reentering. I also observe and image planets, solar activity and deep sky objects with various imaging equipment, telescopes and binoculars. This was a decent meteor, no explosions or flashes, bright white to almost orange. Pieces broke off that burned up almost immediately, same colors. Lasted a few seconds, and was very bright even with the almost full moon |
