| Name | Geoff F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | 80% sure we were stopped at the light at Olympic (as indicated in the earlier location step) but there's a chance we were at the light at San Vicente and La Brea instead, a couple blocks further south. Also totally unsure about the stellar magnitude. It appeared pretty bright in morning sun to the south, so definitely brighter than the full moon, but not really sure how to measure brightness beyond that. It definitely wasn't bright enough to hurt to look at, and i don't recall it leaving any afterimages. |
