Details:
I went out to spot some comets and try to shoot a few with the DSLR and in this shot I caught Comet 2P/Encke and a Meteor that traced back up to the Perseid radiant. One of many from that radiant that were flying around this AM, I traced many back to a Perseid radiant and a few back to Gemini and Orion as well as a very bright green fireball in the WNW at 3:30. Comet 2P/Encke was much larger than I had expected and was easy to find in the shots DSLR and and the telescope.
