Jupiter is brghtest object, in Leo at centre right. Meteor at upper left is a bonus. Stars at top of frame are a bit sharper in this one, vs #3 pan but #3 taken later is better framed. #1 Pan was taken earlier and shows spring stuff rising in east -- #2 and #3 show stuff more due south. Zodiacal band faintly visible from Jupiter down to Spica as blue band.
