This year’s Geminid’s show was one of the most brilliant meteor shower I have seen in recent years, sky conditions were perfect and it was not very cold in open sky. I tried many shoots and finally I was lucky to shoot at least one.

During the Geminids meteor shower I went to the mountains because it was foggy in my town. During that night I've seen about 300 meteors and photographs around 70. This photo is a composition of 23 single photos that shows the directions of the meteors.

Equipment

Olympus E410 DSLR Lens: Olympus Zuiko OM 65-200 mm zoom lens at 200 mm, f/4 1 sec at ISO 400

Description

The moon was only 1.6 days old. The previous day would have been too soon to see it -- less than 1 day old is practically impossible to see. So I had this date on my calendar and was ready with the camera and some telephoto lenses. I climbed to the top of the tower of College Hall, which has one of the best views on Smith College or in all of Northampton. The moon was setting into a band of dark clouds; I took a brief time-lapse series, snapped this one still frame, then another time lapse series. This one turned out the best of the bunch.

It was really cold. -20 C. But it was worth it. Best Geminids display I've ever seen. I haven't seen more meteors in a single night since 2002's Leonids. The image is a composition of many 30s single exposures and shows around 60 meteors.
