@ dkb, I did send it to spaceweather.com. They asked if they could send it to NASA with my name as the photographer.

Thanks for everyone's nice comments!

Just a little update. The photo of the meteor which I shot over the Northern Bay in our little village of Penobscot, Maine, was published on the front page of the Ellsworth American newspaper yesterday. I was amazed to find it on the front page. :)
