Reports Report 657f (Event 657-2026)

Observer
Name Rachel G
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Between Polaris and Dubhe, or even Polaris and the star at Draco's tail, the named one, i would estimate above their level on the horizon at the time, maybe not quite as high as the mosquito nose of the Big Bear, Ursa Major, or maybe close to; hardly any stars were visible due to the nightly fog that comes up off the Los Angeles Forest on the mountains north of SFV and gauze the sky more so than the effects of the immense light pollution in the heart of the Valley
