Details:
At 8PM (10/25) the skies were clear but my neighbor's landscape lights were on. By 10PM, the skies seemed like there was a high overcast although by now my neighbor's lights were off (as required by Kitt Peak Observatory light ordinance).
My images reveal extensive red and green airglow. At 10:29PM, I captured this southern Tauids Meteor with a terminal burst. I suspect that at its peak brightness it reached -6 magnitude.
Will attempt more images tonight weather permitting.
Tech Specs: Fujifilm X-T3, 16mm, f/2.8, 20s, iso 2500.
