That would have been a cool photo. Ever seen a bolide? They are very large and very bright shooting stars. I've only seen 3 with all of the astronomy I've done. They are bright enough to sometimes light up the ground around you.

Catching photos of the space shuttle and satellites can be kind of fun as well. For satellite predictions: //www.heavens-above.com/


I have seen a couple of the "boldies" you describe. I saw one meteor that was near boldie brightness last night on the way home.
Here are a couple of shots of the shuttle/ISS fly-over from this evening. These were shot using a tripod and bulb setting, and just holding the shutter button down by hand. They are all 3 linked in the same thumb.
