About this image

Another meteor shot but not a Perseid this time. My camera caught this one during a lucky break in the clouds at 23:06 UT on 12 August 2024. It didn't line up with any meteor shower radiants, so I assume it's a sporadic. Quite a photogenic one too, bright and with a burst at the end.
