I was up a few miles up the Mt Graham road to take images of Scorpius as it was setting over the horizon. My camera was set for 60 sec exposures, F/2.8, ISO 1200, on an intervalometer.
While attending to a 2nd camera, I saw this white band streaking from above Sagittarius toward Scorpius. It took about 1-2 seconds to streak and then it broke up.
After the current picture was taken, I paused my intervalometer to check if that camera caught it. It did! I was so excited. I have seen these before, and even captured some. This was a rare event that I saw it and imaged it.
