Name | Robert C |
Experience Level | 5/5 |
Remarks | This object passed through the handle of the the big dipper, between eta and zeta UMa, headed almost straight down toward the horizon. Duration probably about 3 seconds. While I'm not that experienced with meteors, I'm a long time visual and PEP variable star observer (AAVSO) and know the sky quite well. |
