| Name | Ralph S |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | Sorry for the bad obs, was tired, but happy to try and give you more detail. (Astronomer here, very happy to support for your initiative). This one was definitely on par in brightness to the brightest I have seen so far (I had a lucky observation once). Enough to light up the landscape. Angle determination was very uncertain, as I was tired, looked late, and saw the event almost exactly at zenith. |
