Details:
While I was waiting for the Orionids and making a 15s exposure, I suddenly saw a bright flesh just above. Thankfully I made a quick reaction and was able to see the bright flesh disappearing. I was really happy to catch this one, which flew from west to east - maybe a Draconid. The Orionids were very weak and there were only a few ones, which were not very bright. Hope to see more meteors during the night on tuesday.

Photo details: Canon EOS 500D, 800 ASA, 15s exposure.
