Description

Earlier this week a fireball meteor was visible over western Washington and Oregon. I was asleep but my rig was shooting M81 and sure enough I managed to pick it up in one of my blue frames.  I added it into my stack of 18 x 300” blue photos.  I’m working on an HaLRGB image as I have 13 hours on this target.
