Apr 23, 2015 20:40 | #3 Nice capture. I was out a couple of nights ago and caught two in one...one is pretty faint. Cloud cover last two days so no luck there.  Image hosted by forum (724337) © CatchingUp [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. Tony

(2 edits in all) | Apr 26, 2015 12:48 | #7 I was taking subs of the North American Nebula on Thursday night. I was still working on getting the aim right and dialing in the exposure when this BEAST of a meteor shot right through my frame! It was the brightest one of the night to the naked eye; can't believe my luck that the camera was pointed in that direction. I was just taking another look at that particular image when I brought it into Photoshop. After a little stretching I'm amazed to see I actually caught some orange exhaust trails spiraling around its path!  IMG_9084 as Smart Object-11920-2 by Shaman Tanthew, on Flickr

Dave I did, not sure whether it's a satellite or not... certainly couldn't see it with my eyes next to that big boy!
