Reports Report 1841a (Event 1841-2024)

Observer
Name Joseph D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was using the astrophotography setting on my phones camera, it's a Google pixel 8 Pro set to 4.5x magnification. The astrophotography setting takes photos that end up being around a 4 minute exposure. Since I knew my phone was stable I was just waiting for the photo to be completed and it was only after checking it that I noticed this bright fiery thing.
