Sat patiently in 25°F waiting for my eyes to adjust while using AV. I was not able to get more than a few glimpses. Kind of circular, but the NE edge of the circle seemed to be more apparent. Shortly after documenting my observation, my neighbor turned on a very bright living room light that lit up my entire backyard. I got my observation in the nick of time!
