About this image

The only Lyrid my S30 Pro managed to observe. One more Lyrid observation than I managed. Of course it rapidly heads out of my field of view. A nice ionisation trail is visible. I have registered it to a background stars 23 minute stack of 10 sec exposures. Milky Way is visible bottom left.
