| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Scott B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was epic! It was as bright as any of the city lights close to me (street lights (oblique angles) or car headlights (not high beams) but a much smaller point. It was not bright enough to notice any glare through my windshield or to light up the surrounding landscape. Still just incredible. |
