Zodiacal light, twilight, and meteors
The zodiacal light shines above the eastern horizon in the mountains of western North Carolina. This image was taken at the onset of twilight when the golden glow first appeared on the horizon. A meteor streak is recorded on the right side of the frame, while either a meteor or an Iridium flare occurs at the top of the zodiacal light. I shot this image in October with a 17mm lens at f/4, ISO 1600, 25 seconds.
