Details:
This Taurid meteor from earlier this week might be a preview of what's in store for tonight -- fireballs! Sometimes the meteor photos you see at SpaceWeather.com are luck, but more often it's the payoff for someone's patience. At this scene I used two cameras to cover most of the sky, and I still got skunked on the first night. So I returned with cameras in tow and managed to catch exactly one excellent meteor streaking across the sky, just as the rising moon began peeking out from behind this old grain elevator.
Nikon D750, Rokinon 24mm lens @ f2, 15-seconds ISO 2,000.
