Reports Report 82b (Event 82-2026)

Observer
Name Catherine W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was absolutely amazing to see! I've seen shooting stars in the past, but this was immediately brighter and quickly disappeared. The moon was to the left of the ball and tail, and slightly higher. The moon was surrounded by an orange and navy aura...absolutely gorgeous. I only wish I had a camera handy!
