Orionids/Taurids 05
The Orionid in the photo above was unseen, but I would guess it was around -2 or -3 Mag. The path of the meteor is from right to left, originating in Hydra close to the Hydra/Cancer border, and finishing on the Sextans/Leo border, about 13 degrees in length. Orion is just off the frame, to the right. The "head and shoulders" of The Constellation Leo are clearly visible in the top left hand corner, and Regulus, the bluish looking star is a bit above and to the left of the end of the meteor's path. The brightest object, towards the top of the frame and a bit right of the start of the path is Saturn.

Bright satellite flare!
I only just noticed this flare as it reached peak brightness (perhaps -5 Mag.), and as soon as I did, I heard the shutter close!
