Observer
Name
Karl N
Experience Level
3/5
Remarks
This was the slowest moving- longest duration observation I've ever experienced in 20 years of casual shower watching. And the first GREEN colored ever! Hence my initial suspicion that it was a man-made piece of space debris. Will be interested to learn more
