Perseid fireball and the Summer Triangle

I captured this single meteor late on the night of August 12th. It passed directly overhead through the Summer Triangle at about 11pm, and left a green trail that was visible for nearly a minute afterwards. Photo captured in a single exposure - 20” iso 3200, f/3.5. In total, I observed about a dozen fireballs in 3 hours, but only captured this one on camera.
