Reports Report 572a (Event 572-2026)

Observer
Name Helen W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I took the photo through my car window (after doing a terrible driving manouvre to pull over and stop quickly - luckily noone was behind me!). It was something between Jupiter and Pollox moving vertically downwards that caught my eye initially, but that dissappeared into the trail and then I saw the light in the picture lower down and further left. By the time I'd wound the window down I could only see the trail. Will you let me know if you work out what it was please? Thanks Helen Ps. I studied astrophysics at uni 20yrs ago but the cold nights in Durham put me off observing!
