Details:
Very stunned when I saw this image on my DSLR's sreen. The line is very bright and has an orange color. The picture was taken in the middle of the night, so satellites are not exposed enough to the sunlight to reflect such a great amount of light. Moreover, no softwares (stellarium, heavens above) predicted a satellite at this place, next to M31, andromeda galaxy. There are no signs in favor of a plane (no flash light and just a single line). I was not outside at this moment, so, I cannot be 100 % sure it is actually a meteor, but it seems likely to be one. The image was process with DxO optics pro (noise reduction). CANON 600D + 200/800 mm reflector + tracking mount 30 secs, ISO 3200 , 800 mm

Nice catch! I only know of one other photograph of a meteor taken through a telescope. The other meteor had already begun to fragment before entering the field of view but can still be used for comparison to this image. Please use the link to the other image for comparison. I did not take the following image. http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/hankey-meteor.jpg
