While gathering image data for my 2018 image of the Triangulum Galaxy I captured this image, I believe this is a meteor.

To me it looks like it entered the top of the image, this being the bottom pane of my M33 image, then burned out just near the top of my frame leaving just a dim trail to the bottom.

Capture details

This is a single 3min Luminance exposure
