| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Joe S |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | I think I got the altitude/azimuth pretty well as I was out to observe comet 21P in Auriga, and at the time, I was looking at Auriga with unaided eyes. The fireball passed over the pentagonal stick figure. As far as brightness goes, note that my sky was generally hazy and there were thin clouds towards Auriga. |
