The Arid meteor shower over the Maunakea Observatories. The short streaks flowing down from the upper right to the lower left are the meteors of the Arids. This is a composite of 24 meteors that appeared between 19:00 and 20:40 (Hawai`i Time) on October 6, 2021. Since the composite image is made of the frames only at the time of the meteors, the trails of stars due to diurnal motion are seen as series of dots.
