| Name | Zac G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have always had an interest in astronomy, so my experience says that it was definitely brighter than Venus. In this form, I went just 1-2 steps brighter to stay on the conservative side, though I may be understating how bright it actually was. It was definitely the brightest object I have ever seen at night outside of the moon. |
