dse Report post Posted December 21, 2020 I believe it was going exactly opposite. Really bright and almost made it over the horizon before it broke up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted December 21, 2020 Yeah, pretty cool. I looked at it last night through the spotting scope. I could see the rings around Saturn and the four moons of Jupiter. Didn't see the meteor. It's a good time for the 2nd coming 😉 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
