A fireball at night, brigter than the venus - 20.10.2015 at 23.34 Turku Observation number 44492

Visibility III / V

Mikko Peussa, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

I was on a fireball hunt in Ruissalo and the ball came :)

The camera was shooting through the car window and I wrote a comment to Sky Watch over the phone, so I didn’t see that flight myself. The brightness is hard to judge because in the picture, however, the stars have been exposed for 13 seconds at full aperture and that flight has apparently been fast and short-lived?

So is the correct observation category a meter image, or a fireball? Hard to say because only the camera saw that?

The camera clock was 30 seconds ahead, so the time could also be 23.33?
