Details:
Photography was challenging under the nearly full Moon trying for Lyrids. The Moon almost produced a halo which would have been great with the meteor, but not quite. This meteor is a bright random that fell earlier in the evening just after midnight. This is an attempt to optimize meteor imaging under bright Moon conditions. The camera set up is a stationary full frame Nikon D800 used in DX mode (24 mb rather than 36 mb images or 1.5X crop) for its better sensitivity with a 8 mm fisheye that is instead 12 mm equivalent to focus on the part of the sky where the radiant will be visible and centered.
