Details:
At ~2:11AM (after moonset), I was setting up for GEMINIDS when the walls of my house flashed. While I didn't see the fireball, my camera captured the tail end with it exploding. I'd estimate the magnitude to be about -10 or about the brightness of a 9 day old moon. The field of view is ~84 degrees (used 16mm Tokina 11-16mm lens) iso 5000 at @ f/4.0 for 60 secs.
The other image: GEMINIDS at 8:58PM on 10 NOV. Lens 11-16mm @ 16mm iso 2000, @ f/5.6 for 30sec. Strong moonlight.
