Description

Trying variations of widefield milkyway imaging, I was taking a series of the galactic center region to the South and caught a short lived meteor. I saw it visually but thought it was way too far East to be in frame. As luck would have it, the meteor was caught in 2 seperate images although I only stacked the first as there was a slight gap between the 2 halves. 

I try to report as many meteors as I can but this was a little too faint and short lived to report if only visual. The advantage of catching a meteor in an image though is that I can log the exact time, altitude and angle and have evidence to back it up. Here is the report I logged. https://ams.imo.net/members/imo_view/report/268964
