A quick snap of a meteor from the Eta Aquariids meteor shower. This is one frame from many multiple frames taken in the early hours of Tuesday morning 5 May 2020 Australian Eastern Standard Time. The camera was running for three hours taking continuous 15 second frames and so far this is the only frame that I believe captured a meteor. Still a nice image though with the planets all nicely lined up along the ecliptic. I will be having another go on Wednesday morning to see if we score a larger bunch. The time stamp on this frame was 3.29am.

Minor adjustments in Photoshop CC for noise, exposure and white balance
The yellow arrow and asterisk ( *) show the apparent radial source of the Eta Aquariids meteors.
