Reports Report 6568c (Event 6568-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Matej S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I only saw the meteor itself while having my eyes down looking at notebook display. I can best estimate the magnitude to be between -2 and -5, wouldn't even report if it wasn't for the super-long lasting trail. Uploaded picture is the first 30sec frame after the event, I think the exposure just missed the meteor itself and only captured the trail - I was using delayed exposure with wireless trigger and got distracted by the meteor so it's hard to say. Took about 70 30-sec frames of the trail twisting. |
