Falling Star across the Milky Way

 

This image was taken on a clear summer night in Suffolk county in England in the middle of a field; away from the lights of the city. I used 44 seconds exposure and very light sensitive settings to capture the Milky Way that night. On this occassion, I was lucky enough to have a falling star flying across the Milky Way while the shutter was open, leaving its mark on the photograph.
