Whoops!
My bad Brian.
Meant to say Lunar eclipse "Pic"
(short informal term for picture)
Ray
Lunar eclipse this morning, shortly before totality.
Canon T5i, 300mm@f/5.6, 1/2 second.
I shot a few dozen exposures and only caught one other meteor.
The other meteor, seen here was a short fainter one in Lepus the Hare between Eta and Zeta the stars that mark the Hare's ears. That one traced back to Orion.
It was parallel to the one seen here.
If the radiant is somewhat broad from the many returns of Halley's Comet it could be Orionid but like you said hard to say for sure.
Well done! Love the vrawfish and frogs shots!
Pic taken 10/22/22 of what may be an Orionid meteor in Canis Major!
Sirius, brightest star in the sky is seen to right of meteor.
Canon T5i, 55mm to 18mm lens at 18mm lens@3.5, 10 second exposure. Cropped
to enlarge meteor.
Thanks Mike!
Still waiting for next nice comet!
Comet Hale-Bopp March 11, 1997 seen with naked eye in the sky and reflected in the water at Cumberland Pond near Cumberland New Jersey!
Naked eye view of Comet Neowise!

This is cropped version of exposure I loaded before. I like it better.
American flag is neat to see near the 🎆 🎆!!
I often go there star-gazing, birding and never saw anyone set off 🎆 fireworks.
Was a sort of surprise too because they lit a few Roman Candles, then this short volley of rockets happened while my shutter was open. After this I was busy observing the rocket launch.
Went to East Point on the Delaware Bay to observe Orbital ATK Antares rocket launch from Wallops Island to the International Space Station!
View of rocket launch was outstanding in binoculars! Partly cloudy skies obscured my photos.
Just before the launch rockets were launched closer by at East Point Lighthouse!
Awesome photos!
I am sure it took lots of patience and skill to aquire these magnificent photos even in a birding paradise!
Circumzenithal Arc appeared almost directly overhead the other day!
