| Name | Bill H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I use an online camera at Sebec Lake, Maine and record it every second, all night and then use StaStax software to make a stacked image and TimeLapseCreator to make a movie. The camera faces NorthEast and can view to about 28 degrees above the horizon. I often see meteors and satellites but this is my first fireball. |
