Reports Report 8093b (Event 8093-2025)

Observer
Name Josiah N
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This event was very visible to the bare eye, I noticed the rise in illumination as the meteor started to streak because it washed out my scope. It is very possible that the shooting star lasted longer and I just wasn't observing that part of the sky at the start, but it certainly last 3 seconds as I counted it out loud.
