Fireball from the Perseids

A fireball from the Perseids meteor shower.

I think that's a Southern Delta Aquariid, as it is heading south/east. The Perseids extend outwards from the north.

Well done, though. :)

Thanks - do the meteor travels from red to green? or does the colour not matter and it's just the direction? (I didn't actually see this one so I can't specifically comment, was too busy tripping over trees...).
But I did see another that almost hit the horizon from South'ish to North East - The opposite Direction that I had expected! - still looking for it on the shots though .....

Nice catch Micheal, could be a Perseid if it travelled down as this line leads back to the northern sky, also, being green is a common color for a Perseid ? ?
