Details:
In reviewing exposures from Wednesday evening I came across this, which I thought at first was a strange double-meteor. But there is a faint trail connecting the two streaks, so the object must have been rotating and ablating at different rates. Photo made with a Canon 6DMkII and Sigma 20mm, f/1.4 lens, carried on a Star Adventurer EQ drive. That's Deneb in the center of the frame with a faintish North American Nebula above, just below an Earthly cloud!
