Geminid Meteor Shower
Stayed up til' 3am freezing my tail off in 26* temps to get what I could. I saw some absolutely amazing ones shoot through the sky. Bright, long tails, yellows, greens, blues.......been a while since I've seen such an impressive show.
Anyway 2 hours of shooting, 300+ frames, and 2 run-ins with the cops - here are a couple of the 8 I managed to capture, as well as a startrail where you can see a couple of them in it. damn airplanes..... Blue lights! |

Yeah.....I guess it throws out a couple red flags when they see a person sitting in a car, on the side of the road at 2am.

Thanks. I saw just a few early in the night and forgot to look out when I was up in the middle of the night.

Excellent ! I tried, but only got a couple of airplanes going through my frame.
What were your camera settings and equp. ? I set mine up on a cable shutter release. I let it shoot till the battery died. It shot from about 10pm - 12am. My only fast lens is the 50mm 1.8. So, probably not near wide enough. I think my ISO was at 800. Should have bumped it too, I guess. Focused to inifinity. I saw several with my eye, but didn't capture any. |

Cool pictures. On Friday morning, I was headed west on I40 in Tennessee and saw a few meteors.

I've got a 10-20mm wide angle that I shoot with, set to infinity. Didn't know you were in this neck of the woods. Passing through again soon? |
