| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Katie C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I love to star gaze and I do some (sub-amateur) night sky photography, but I’m just a casual observer and don’t know much technical info or correct nomenclature for most astronomy-related things. I just know that I’ve never in my 35 years seen anything like this, and it was so awesome! |
