Reports Report 4350a (Event 4350-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Nathan G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The picture was taken with my phone facing directly towards zenith lying on the ground. It is a 10 second exposure, but the meteor was still bright enough to show up although it lasted ~2 seconds. Was a rather thick trail, and covered about 60 degrees of the sky from North to South, traveling close to overhead. I'm not sure if my prior answers communicate that accurately, since I viewed this while lying on my back. |
