Observer
NameBrett S
Experience Level4/5
RemarksThe photo is not mine. It was taken by Scott Soutter, the dad of one of my daughter's schoolmates, and he forwarded it to me and said I could share it. We were showing them the sky through our telescopes that evening and Scott was experimenting with night photography when he captured the meteor/fireball. I wish I had that kind of luck on my first night out!
