Not a Leonid Meteor :-(

Got up early this morning to watch the sparse Leonid Meteor shower from the backyard.

I first thought this was a meteor, but I checked the http://heavens-above.com site and
confirmed that an Iridium flare occured exactly at the time this shot was taken and
in the same location in the sky.

Bummer!

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM
30s f/4.0 at 10.0mm full exif
