Brightest fireball of annual Perseid meteor shower in 2012. Its brightness was about -9 magnitude and more than 14 minutes was visible cloud of its trail. Lucky time, because I had two cameras (one with wide-angle lenses, second by my hands with 17-50 mm lenses), so I could do complex photographic record of this unique phenomenon. Used Canon 550D, Samyang 8mm (f5.6) – fireball; Canon 450D, Tamron 17-50 mm (f/2.8) – trail. Observed on 12th August 2012, Pancir, Sumava mountains, Czech republic.
