Meteor smoke trail and time-lapse animation
Hi,

I did a time-lapse at MPAS observing site last night. When I processed the images I noticed a bright meteor and was amazed to see a smoke trail after it. It took about 6 minutes for the smoke to dissipate.

I attached a few images and made a quick video showing the smoke trail dynamics:

Cheers,
Alex
