Reports Report 4795o (Event 4795-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kevin B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I went to undergrad for Astronomy, although I havent been observing the sky since college. I feel my observations had decent accuracy, I used my outstretched hand to gauge degrees of arc for the direction of view and travel. Also my brightness choice of -8 could also have been -7 or even -6.5, I believe it to have been somewhere in this range. I hope my lack of viewing experience doesnt negatively impact the consideration my data goes into documenting this event. |
