Photographing the Aug. 11th aurora during the Perseid meteor shower and I was hoping I would get at least 1 meteor streaking though my image but , I got 2 ...a smaller one but at least I got a 2! The meteor that is lower in the sky over the trees is on fire as it streaks through the atmosphere...you can see the fireball it has become as it burns up in the atmosphere!
