Reports Report 453l (Event 453-2023)

Observer
Name Tom F
Experience Level 5/5
Remarks I estimate that I missed the first 10° of burn as it rose to noticeable mag. The ambient light probably causes an underestimation of brightness. I recall noticing some reddish fringe to the green/yellow portions.
