Last night resulted in a pretty nice video showing incredible stars, a faint Aurora, a few small meteors and watch closely at the beginning there is some nice virga (rainfall that evaporates before it hits the ground)....

Stars, Faint Aurora, Small Meteors, Virga and a Low Flying Airplane....
Thought I would share a couple of things this morning. Yesterday afternoon we had a plane fly by BELOW our house..... We have a 40' bank and it is below that. It was less than 200' from our bank too.... In this case, FAA regs state that it needs to be 500' above and away from any structures. If he was 500' away from the bank he could be at the deck. As a drone operator, this makes me even more cautious. My drone was right in his flight path last week. It is my responsibility to yield, but when a plane is coming by at 100mph below tree top level, I would have had very little time to respond at 20mph.... Unfortunately there isn't enough detail in these photos to get his number.
