| Name | Alan G |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I did nit see the fireball. My sky camera recorded it automatically. I estimate the starting sky position as 7h30m +35 and end position as 4h+60. Times, duration, color, brightness, train, and sound are from the video. I realize that the brightness is very crude, because the camera saturated. Sorry, I have not yet converted the position against the stars in the FOV into alt-az. Camera is Wyze Cam V3 with 120 deg diagonal field. Attached video was captured by Wyze change detection, with data compression applied by them. |
