62P and a meteor

About this image

A stack of images through my SCT showing 62P passing some of the fainter galaxies in Virgo. I was also taking a wide field image around 62P with the Dwarf II when I realised by chance I'd captured a meteor on one frame passing close to NGC 4429. The wide field shot could have been slightly sharper focused but at the time I was concentrating on the SCT and the close-up images.
