Details:
February 27, 2018 around 5:42 AM I was set up to photograph the Milky Way looking Southeast and noticed a bright satellite I believed to be the International Space Station (and later verified) coming through from south to north across the south eastern sky. As ISS was close to Jupiter, just out from the frame a bright falling star left a bit of a green and hint of red trail across a portion of the sky just west of the same region. It was a lovely moment and I was kind of kicking myself for not having had the camera pointed just a little bit more to the west which might have caught the meteor and the ISS. Yet another small meteor came across the scene in this image I didn’t notice at the time. The transit of ISS across the sky happened over five - 30 second exposures. with a brief pause between exposures causing the break in the trail of sunlight shining on ISS between exposures. So ISS was brightly visible for around 3 minutes. Image made with a Nikon D800E with a 15mm lens at f4.
