Out shooting the milky way under clear skies I captured the Aquarid (my best guess) meteor streaking across the milky way. There were plenty of meteors throughout the night. I believe I saw a late Scutid as well as several others and even a bright fireball which I didn't capture. This location is on the Yellowstone Prong in Graveyard Fields at MM 419 of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. Graveyard Fields is within Pisgah National Forest.

Nikon Z6, Irix Firefly 15mm lens, Didymium Filter

Minimal processing, slightly boosted exposure and shadow with ~+25 clarity and vibrance. The didymium filter really helps reduce the needed post-processing.
