| Name | Tate S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Was aligning my Celestron telescope using the star Polaris and it is 32 degrees above my horizon, the meteor was not quite that high, but clearly to the left of that star. Came down some, but was more slanted than steep. It was bright and easy to recognize, and I live in a light polluted area.. |
