Meteor smoke plume expanding

Meteor smoke plume expanding

I got lucky during the Geminid meteor shower this year and managed to capture part of a very bright track and smoke plume near the Orion Constellation. This image shows a close up of the plume after it had expanded for about 10 minutes after the flash. The image is a combination of 1-240s and 2-120 sec exposures to show the track with plume superimposed
There is a video of the complete event at http://youtu.be/nMHK6c-9Iuc
