I’ve never dabbled much in astrophotography, but this combination of phenomena caught my attention while finishing a loop drive on a rough, remote road: a great view of the Milky Way (from a dark sky in the western Everglades) and Mie scattering of light from the small, unincorporated settlement of Monroe Station. Mie scattering takes visible light (here, the orange light of sodium-vapor lamps over the visible horizon) and sends it to the eye diffusely, thanks to particles of water, dust and/or pollen that are similar in size to the visible wavelength. The meteor streaking northward from near the zenith was a bonus!
