15+ deg meteor-trail, in Orion (pointing toward M42, cutting through Barnard's Loop). Orion (& radiant Gemini, is above & out-of-the-frame) is setting in the west. This image shows the familiar pattern of Orion the Hunter, along with Sirius: a familiar sight in the winter north sky. Note that the crescent moon (& nearby Mars) has risen in the east.
