Reports Report 52i (Event 52-2012)

Observer
Name Daniel K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I just submitted a report and realized that I made several references to the color/brightness/size in comparison to Betelgeuse... That was an error. While the location of it\'s termination with reference to the constellation Orion is still accurate. There was another star/planet near Betelgeuse at that moment within 15 degrees of Betelgeuse that I used to compare color/brightness/size could it have been Venus?
