Reports Report 2132ahl (Event 2132-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lane B |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor trail started from the region of the sky around the Helix Nebula, through the central region of Capricornus, and ended in the general region of NW Sagittarius (I would estimate roughly 4 - 5 degrees East of Rho Sagittarius). I was not looking directly in that direction at the flash, but two other very experience amature astronomers agreed it was one of the brightest they had ever witnessed. |
