Observer
Name Ian H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was photographing the core of the Milky Way from my back porch 10 feet off the ground. It appeared to my left near the top of a tree and looked like it was strobing but I believe it was just the gaps in the foliage as it went approximately straight away from me at my “10:30-11:00” direction (South/Southeast)
