A fireball at night, as bright as a cresent moon - 23.11.2019 at 23.05 Helsinki Observation number 86565

Visibility IV / V

Esko Lyytinen, Ursa (Etelä-Suomi)

There is an observation of a firing camera imaging in the IR area. I didn't see it myself.

I also include a BTrail map, which apparently was Tauridi. This is based on previous camera calibration, so not very accurate.

There are several visual observations of this and a couple of other camera pictures, I haven't measured those pictures.
