I caught this brilliant meteor/fireball at 930pm CT. This was shot at 10mm and this picture is not cropped... I actually got to see this one and the picture doesn't do it justice. Canon T1i, F4, ISO3200, 30 secs, 10mm

The 10 second image, acquired using an automated Imaging Source Camera with wide angle lens, shows the meteor passing between Pegasus to the left and Delphinus to the right.
