Shooting star caught through the center of the Milky Way at the Aggie Barn. I've been meaning to make it out here for some Astro for a while. I'ts only fitting to have done so now during my (hopefully) final year as a PhD student at Texas A&M.

I wasn't expecting the shooting star at all. I had actually walked back to my car before I saw the milky way had moved enough that I could set up a nice composition from a different angle of the barn. Tried a couple last shots and got lucky.
