re meteor

i am a bit dissapointed that some are doubting this photo.

It is simply a "chance shot",i was taking long exposures of ngc253,i han just taken a 10 minute shot,and was about to do another,i didnt think i had fired the camera,so checked by pressin button,i had infact previously fired,but wasnt sure,so by doing so the second time,ended the 9 second exposure which captured the meteor,pure chance,lucky shot.i went on to take the next long exposure of 253.

If there is any doubt,i can produce witnesses,that were with me at the time,i took this at astro fest.

Mike,you say its not bright enough,well given the above valification,what is it.

There are plenty of stars in back ground that DO NOT TRAIL
