Hi Jodie,
Very nice!
Timing IS everything, isn't it?
As a budding astrophotographer, may I ask what you used to annotate the
shot?
Best regards,
Charley

I was out just before moon-rise trying to see if I could catch Vesta, Ceres,
and Jupiter together.
Just after I opened the shutter for a 6" exposure, I saw a meteoroid streak
across the sky apparent heading towards Ain. Very short and dim, I hoped
it'd be enough to expose at 1000ISO.
It did! Vesta, Ceres, Jupiter, and a meteor trail in the same frame!
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!
Here it is with the red channel processed up a little bit to expose it.
Sorry about the sky noise, I was shooting through a sucker-hole in the
clouds and the moon was already brightening the sky. No other processing
other than resize to 1280x1024.

P.S. Pardon the annotations, I needed them for registration to find the
darned minor planets. ;)
