Huge Perseid Meteor

Huge Perseid Meteor

I usually photography the Perseid meteor shower by pointing my camera with a wide-angle lens toward the Perseids in the northwest. This time, however, I decided to point my camera south, and was rewarded with this incredibly bright meteor a little before 4 am. The photo after this shows the large cloud dissipating that it left behind (8/13/2020, my field, 5DSR facing S with no filter)
