Hello Chris.

If you have time, could you just estimate the angle of descent on the April 
7th 0400 PDT Fireball based (only)on the accuracy of the scaled photo I have 
up?

Using a planetarium program, I come up with a descent angle of appx. 51 
degrees for this fireball. I am wondering if this method could be used to 
approximate descent angle without any photograph from another station.

Thank you in advance for considering this in your busy schedules.
