Having missed the peak of the Geminid meteor shower this year; or rather experienced it through icy fog in London, it was a bit of a bonus to catch this picture at 3.00 am this morning during a visit to Leicester.
Whatever the meteor shower, this is my favourite bit of sky, so that’s where the camera gets pointed. This is one of a series of 15 second exposures at IS0 1600, f4, focal length 17mm on my Canon 7D.
What more could you ask for: Orion with sword, Hyades and Pleiades clusters in Taurus, Jupiter passing through, and a Geminid meteor to top it off.
Just goes to show it’s worth heading out in the dark and the cold for ‘one more go’.
