Lyrids Meteor Shower, April 22nd at 3am the morning of peak activity. It was a quiet shower this year, I had my camera going all night and only caught one meteor. This single frame is from an all night 1200 frame time lapse on my front deck, I'm very fortunate to live under dark Bortle 2 skies. The glow on the horizon is from the last quarter moon just before rising. This meteor also left smoke trails. I made an animated GIF of 18 images showing the meteor and smoke trails but I'm not able to upload GIF files. I can email that file upon request.
Canon 5D M4, Sigma 14mm Art lens. RRS BH55 head, RRS tripod.
Color correction in Camera Raw. I'm pretty basic when it comes to post-processing.
