Rather bad timing for me – I was concentrating on recording an asteroidal occultation centred on 19:52 UT and sensor board failures meant a couple of my meteor cameras are currently hors de combat.

However, I saw the concentric rings forming at high elevation to my north, transforming into a jellyfish as it progressed to the east and its tour de force was an impersonation of a bright pale blue spiral galaxy. Your images and videos portray it very well.

More space junk, yet a spectacular sight.
