Derek,one time I was observing Jupiter through the 16" when a very bright meteor went off very close to Jupiter.
The usual Big WOWs then looked through the eyepiece only to find Jupiter was very fuzzy.
On looking through the finder scope could see the illuminated cloud from the meteor was the culprit.
It was drifting in front of Jupiter for a good few minutes.
A sight to behold indeed.
Now when I see a bright meteor go off I immediately get the bino's to see if there is any trail left.
Cheers
