Lingering Ion trail after bolide of September 27, 2013

These image was taken with a Nikon 5100 around 2 minutes after the apparition. I was somewhat blinded by the event, which left a strong after-image in my vision, and had no ability to quickly adjust the controls, take a test image to check focus, or ajdust the ISO of the camera. So I just set the camera on my car, pointed it in the general direction of the lingering ion trail and hoped for the best.

The image came out dark, but some stretching in Photoshop brought out detals as you see here.
