The meteor shower was especially disappointing. I may have seen one visually in an hour. But I set up the camera in the backyard and took 30 second exposures throughout the night. I found this pretty fireball spread over three successive exhibitions. I lightly indicated a few constellations nearby. Thank you, rich!

He wrote: “I decided to come back here for a night and spend some time with this lighthouse under a starry sky. I set up my Nikon D850 there and another camera on the other side of the lighthouse to capture it from a different angle and a different area of ​​the sky. I set the camera to film for 3 hours. I didn’t sift through all of my shots on that night of November 16-17, 2020, but this fireball certainly stood out. Thanks Jeff!

I hardly got this photo and I am so glad I did. I was at the right time and in the right position. After the 3rd shot I had this awesome meteor coming through. It was great to see and take a picture of it. Thanks, Melissa!
