EDIT. I FIXED A TYPO FROM PREVIOUS UPLOAD ON THE DIRECTION!

Meteor at 4:19 this morning from high in the northeast. That's the right direction for a Quadrantid meteor (the shower that probably peaks tonight, January 3-4) or it could have been a random mote of space dust. Left to right: Mount Hopkins, Mount Wrightson, San Cayetano in southern Arizona. Left camera out to make exposures while I slept.
