Details:
A Pinpoint meteor over St. Cwyfan church.
After checking several thousands of timelapse images taken during this week of the Perseid meteor shower I noticed a new 'Star' appear on just one image. After some enquiries with people far more experienced that me the 'star' was identified as a Pinpoint Meteor, my first :)
A pinpoint meteor is one that is coming directly towards the camera so you don't see a trail just a spot of light like a star. By comparing the exposures before and after the main picture you can see the meteor appear and disappear again.
