Description
A Meteorite from the Perseid shower. Stars from the Milky Way seem to be vertically arranged in this pic.First time shooting long exposures.
Was out for 4 hours shooting till 4am.
Definitely aided with some luck to have one fly by like this...
A massive one really close lit up, could literally see the smoke trail with the naked eye as the meteorite disintegrated with a blue-greenish hue as sparks spilled out from the rear...
We could faintly hear the sound like a 'ffffffffttttttt'!!!
Everybody cheered with excitement.
Was out a second night but wasn't as Successful as the first night.. oh well, next time!

I haven't been able to see any yet because of clouds and rain.
But that's a gorgeous shot.
