| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Edward B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Longest tail I have ever witnessed. Fully 25% of the total arc of the transit witnessed. The shallow angle tragectory was across the sky, rather than plunging in. Came directly from the area of the rising moon so was observered immediately and continuously until obscured by the roof of my house. By the time I ran around to look west, it was no longer visible, but would just was observed for 60%-70% of the track from eastern horizon entry to western horizon disapperance. |
