Observer Name Flynn goodlad G Experience Level 4/5 Remarks I was looking at my telescope outside and I saw a bright looking thing above me. It started as a trail that grew quickly and then fragmented into a few pieces. However I'm not very experienced with comets and it did come from the direction of the eridanids
