Description

I was taking a series of 120 second light frames for stacking and this was one. I almost discarded it as a satellite trace. This looks like a meteor streak and splits the difference right between M31 and M110. The white balance is off because I used a modified DSLR with enhance H-Alpha sensitivity.

I like this shot better than the stacked and balanced image from the full data set.
