Narrative:

We were cleared on a heading of 310 degrees to intercept the 085 degree radial of abq VOR and the miera 2 arrival to abq. Later received clearance direct to corona VOR, miera 2 arrival cross miera at 15000 ft. Started descent and crossed miera at 15000 ft, but failed to make turn to go direct to corona. Center informed us of our mistake. No conflict with other traffic. This was the last leg of the day after about 8 1/2 hours flying for the day.
