(meteorobs) Re: Some Perseid photos
Kevin,
That faint continuation is probably real. It appears that a fragment
survived the terminal burst and that is what you see as the faint line.
As for the waviness, this was probably caused by a turbulent atmosphere.
Interesting picture. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
