Reports Report 768c (Event 768-2024)

Observer
Name Grant B
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I did not witness it unfortunately (was having a nap before attempting to capture the milky way core and moon rise) so my info is based on the timelapse I captured. I am also unable to give a 100% accurate time as it was captured using the inbuilt timelapse feature in the camera so the time is an estimation based on when I started the timelapse vs when I checked the camera vs the time I got up.
