Drove 2.5 hours from Dayton, Ohio to Lafayette, Indiana area for clear skies! The first Image shows a Geminid meteor, Aircraft light trails, Orion Constellation and Comet Macholtz. Another image shows a Geminid near Betelguese in Orion. The next image is of the Gemini Twins, Castor and Pollux, with Saturn, M44 Beehive cluster, and a Gemind Meteor approaching a tree. The final image shows a Closeup view of a Gemind meteor. All taken with a Canon 10D Digital Slr at Iso 800 F3.5 for 1-5 minutes on a tripod or mini-tracking mount. All taken around Midnight local time. |

I caught this Geminid meteor while taking photos of Comet Macholz... Taken from my home on Storm Mountain with a Canon Digital Rebel, 50mm, ISO1600, 30sec, f/1.7... May possibly be the same meteor as seen in the photo by Thad V'Soske, taken 1000 miles away in California... |

A brilliant Geminid appears to breaking up the perpetual tiff between Orion and Taurus. Canon 10D, 14mm f/2.8 lens, ISO800, 20-s exposure. |
