Details:
Taken with a GoPro @ 30s exp, iso 800, cropped.
This meteor was witnessed as I was hoping to see the Kp7 aurora storm. Unfortunately, the solar stream was very thin and mid-latitudes only got a very weak deep sky* glimpse of it after midnight. The ultra wide field of view distorted the meteor causing the slight curvature during its track. A corrected version is included here as well.
*Deep sky aurora are only visible in long exposures.
