I didn't use a telescope to photograph this Meteor looking dahlia, just my macro lens. After processing this bloom with it's vivid colors it kept reminding me of what I thought a meteor would look like and so I pulled it back into photoshop and added some canvas and a tail.
The original image was shot early am with a black matboard held behind. It was a 13 photo image stack. I guess most meteors that look this "Hot" wouldn't still have dew drops.

Just a couple of suggestions to make it more meteor like. Rotate the image slightly so that the head is angling down more as if heading to ground. Also the leading edge of meteor is the hottest part so brightening up the base of the dahlia would make it more meteoric.
