I shoot the LBN 777 and Pleiades composition (200mm telelens) at october 27, in the Zselic Starry Sky Park. I didnt sight the meteor, only finded at the in the 9. exposure, when I come home. Not only the trail visibe, the meteor have smoke flow under the Pleiades. Perhaps, this is not a Taurid (I checked the radiant), not Orionid... so this is a sporadic and bright meteor. What a lucky night. Where is my lottery ticket?

The picture was taken on October 13th, when the clouds drew a distorted grinning face, with two different colors for the eyes: a bright green in the right one, due to the aurora, and a blue one on the left, due to the twilight colours after the sunset.

The view completely captivated me, and I had the absolute need to capture it in a single picture for the festivity!
