Reports Report 7542ca (Event 7542-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kyra K |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This is the 3rd fireball I have observed. For this event, 7542, this is my second report, after I better understood how to utilize the stellar magnitude tool. Also, I went back to understand and make certain that I answered the question regarding the persistent train after I read others' reports. I was able to take more time and have more specific focus, but my reports are approximately identical except for the magnitude. |
