We were extremely fortunate to Capture this image in AL Ula’s pristine night skies, This rare meteor flashed green as it passed directly in front of the Pleiades star cluster.
This was taken during an astrophotography session in the Arabian Gulf’s first certified Dark Sky Reserve.

Love it! There’s a place that’s dark a short distance from where I live, I should go and try out new Milky Way pics (haven’t donde in a couple of years).
Was this just a random shot you happened to capture? or were you planning for it?
