I was at the Catalina Schmidt telescope last night. Meteors we flying, many apparently Draconids due to the peak of that shower.

In several survey frames throughout the night meteors were visible. Not a rarity as we catch a few every night. Last night I had a spectacular meteor cross the field as it split into three parts.
