This image is a composite showing several meteors at once. There are three that are very bright, and if you look closely there is at least one that is very faint

I drove 200 miles and it was cloudy the whole way. I just had a hunch it would clear up after midnight. You csn still see some of the cloud cover in front of the Milky Way.

It was a spur of the moment trip. I woke up that morning and decided I had to go shoot this. It was a 200 mile drive, but it was worth it.
