The meteor is a bit faint in this shot, but it's there slicing through the image horizontally in about the middle. I've brightened the image a bit in post. This is one of the images in the AuroraDance timelapse. I particularly enjoyed watching how quickly it moved and how often the little "sprites" bloomed and glowed then dimmed. There are definitely bluish tinged lights here which I believe implies interaction with sunlight higher in the atmosphere.
See the whole sequence as a timelapse here.

The Delta Aquariid meteor shower on the evening of 29 July 2016.This version includes 4 bright meteors that I captured over the course of about 3 hrs.
Also visible in this image are the southern Milky Way (including the Southern Cross and Pointers) and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (which are satellite galaxies of the Milky Way),
I believe I've recorded a rare meteor whose radiant is usually very inactive. However,
This early December —which sees moonless night skies—could see a surprise meteor shower produce about 200 “shooting stars” at its peak. It’s not been active for many decades, but a paper* claims that the Andromedid meteor shower could impress in 2023. Known for spectacular outbursts in 1872 and 1885—when it produced thousands of meteors per hour—the Andromedids are predicted to bring “moderate to strong” activity in 2023 and 2036 and “observers should be alert.”
Although this meteor appears faint, I accidentally used an iso of only 200. Usually I use an iso between 1250 to 3200. I'd estimate this meteor was at least 0 magnitude. They are very slow moving and are often yellow in color.

Perseid Meteor Shower at Trillium Lake Friday morning, August 13, 2010.
I took 360, 30 second exposures to get this one shot. This is an aggregate of the meteors that fell in three hours last night.
Exposure - 30 seconds x 360 exposures
Aperture - f/2.8
Focal Length - 11 mm
ISO Speed - 2000
Basically - This shot was created by taking 360 exposures and then taking the shots that had meteor's in them out and layering them over each other and masking and merging them into the lower layer. I did each layer one at a time.
This shot did not take into consideration the rotation of Earth during the three hours that I was shooting, thus the lack of a common point of origin. I have since compensated using a time/rotation adjustment and recompiled the layers into this image HERE.
. . . I was quite lucky last night to catch a fairly bright Perseid meteor! This is no easy task, since you have no idea where in the sky it will suddenly appear. I was surprised that for "peak activity" I only saw a few, and only captured one!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Another shot of the Night on the Albula Pass in Switzerland at a altitude of 2312 m. On the right side a falling star crosses the sky. A street through the snowy mountains can be seen. Clouds are illuminated by St. Moritz which are located behind the mountains of the Alps (left side).
What a long night!!!! I am so tired! Went out about 1 am and went back in at about 4:30. Really disappointed by my first meteor shower photo op!! I don't know if its because we are too close to Chicago, but we did not see that many, and only caught two with the camera. Of course about 1 hour in there was a HUGE one that was out of camera range that got me all psyched about getting a really good one! Oh well!! Better look at this one big so you don't miss the little meteor!!
A Perseid Meteor rips across the sky, high in the Oregon Cascade Mountains. Perseid Meteor Shower, August 2012.
mucking about on Lindisfarne last saturday with my rgb stick - not one of my better attempts but the bonus of a Quadrantid Meteor in the back ground makes up for i
A full super moon obscured all but the brightest meteors from this years Gemini shower. The moon was so bright that I shot at ISO 100 to keep from overexposing the photo. The meteor in the lower left 3rd of the frame happened a little after 1 am. Two lens flares are in the lower middle. Clouds moved in shortly after for the rest of the morning.
Kalambaka et ses monastères perchés sur les rochés. Les météores sont à voir au moins une fois.
Les monastères des Météores sont un haut lieu du monachisme orthodoxe, situé au nord de la Grèce, en bordure de la plaine de Thessalie, à proximité de la ville de Kalambaka, en Hestiotide, dans la vallée du Pénée.
I went to photograph the sun rising behind the Spinnaker Tower and found myself seeing the tail end of a Perseid Meteor Shower.
I popped out last night to catch more Aurora shots but I missed the best of it. I still took a shot just to get the distant glow of lights in Aberdare and the last of the Auroral glow. When I hit the trigger, a shooting star from the Quadrantid Meteor Shower photobombed the image.
I won't complain.

From our relocation trip across the US... again :) This time we took i40. waaaay better. This was from a quick stop (15mins!) at the Meteor Crater near Flagstaff Arizona. Still experimenting with some of the stitching. This one could use a bit more work, have a couple others to work with. More versions to follow.

My best Perseid meteor from last night. I did catch one or two other feint ones, which just goes to show never delete anything from your camera until you've seen it on the computer screen! Clearer skies forecast tonight so fingers crossed for some more!
