Hi everyone; Driving home from Kaysville last Sunday night I saw an extremely bright meteor that fell all the way to the horizon. This meteor as well as the topic of other bright meteors over the past couple of nights reminded me of an image that I have been going to post for a couple of weeks now. It was taken last August while imaging IC5068. I noticed the familiar streak across one of the R frames, but this was considerably brighter than most. As I looked at it, I saw a pronounced spiral pattern as it twisted its way through the sky. When enlarged, it also shows a definite "wobble" to the seemingly straight trail. I was reminded of Stephen James O'Meara's article in Septembers' Sky and Telescope, "Twisted Meteor's' (see page 77)where he writes about twisting meteor trails. My original image shows a pronounced twist although the image in my album needs to be enlarged for the twist to be seen to full advantage. I also have included some images of the Double Cluster taken last week. http://www.utahastronomy.com/album24 Hope you find the "twists" as interesting as I did.
