Looking for Comet SWAN, but it was lost in the glare of sunrise. Had another camera shooting north 30 sec exposures. This is a composite of 30 frames.
This meteor flashed through around 2AM this morning. While it appears to be “in” the Milky Way, it is well to remember that the meteor is very close to Earth, actually burning up IN our atmosphere, while the Milky Way is (almost) unimaginably distant.
For extra credit: why do we see more meteors AFTER midnight, than before?
Note that the stars are visible right down to the horizon…
