Java Meteor

I'm not really into astronomy myself, by by a freak chance I caught this meteor on camera while I was trying to catch a volcanic eruption. The location was a few km south of Mt Semeru in East Java, looking NW at 21:37 on 27/7/2008. This images is slightly cropped on the bottom, but apart from that it is from a full frame image from a Canon 1Ds MkIII - so the original is big. I've also attached the volcanic eruption I was waiting for and the combination of the two (after all, it all happened within a few hours). Can't help good luck - eh?
