Observer
Name Josh D
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was sitting in a lawn chair just about to look through the eyepiece of my telescope and something caught my eye above the 90 degree angle and it was amazing. i paused for a second and said "holy bleep look at that" and my friend who was 30 ft away from me had time to look up and see it still for 3-5 seconds. Everytime i stare at the night sky i will be waiting to see something like this again and im afraid i never will
