Observer Name Andrew S Experience Level 3/5 Remarks I am pretty sure there was a gap (darkness) between the "head" of the object and the tail. Maybe 5-10 deg (using the "10 deg = a fist" measurement). I also think there was a small piece that "fell" from the head and dropped lower before vanishing.
