| Remarks | Observed in a part if the sky with about +4 LM (milky way just about visible toward zenith). The train was still negative magnitude 3-4 seconds after the event, and had contorted into an "S" shape by the time it started to fade from visibility. Might have been visible longer if my eyes were better dark adapted. Started out more greenish in colour, and perhaps some blue, fading to orange. |
