Details:
Although I've seen much brighter meteors with my eyes, this is the brightest meteor I've captured with my camera. This meteor passed to the WNW sometime between UTC 06:41.44 - 06:42.14 (was taking 30-second exposures). It was bright enough to illuminate the wispy clouds it passed by an eerie green. Unfortunately I wasn't present to observe it visually.

Beautiful photo. Actually, a 30 sec exposure is going to greatly understate the brightness of a meteor, which lasts less than 1 sec, and then the camera averages in 29 sec of dark sky with it. So, that meteor would have appeared very bright, indeed.
