Fireball!

Spotted in the western quadrant of the sky over Reno on the 19th, at dusk. Space.com states this is a fireball and was seen in northern California as well as in our region of Nevada. I thought it was a rocket launch, at first. You can never plan for a fireball! Just pure luck.

Luck had nothing to do with an interesting shot. As has been said- Luck is where opportunity meets preparation. You had your camera and you saw the opportunity.

Can't argue about that comment. Having the camera present is the key, of course.
