This was taken with a Nikon D810A DSLR camera and a fisheye wide angle lens, on a tripod. I was not tracking. I just took 15-second images for most of the night.
I just stretched the image to lighten it.
This is (unless I'm mistaken) a Perseid meteor flying away from a very interesting patch of galactic center.
