Orion, Hyades, Pleiades, Jupiter, Geminid meteor. 03:00 GMT 15\/12\/2012 (Photo:Tim Jones)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Just goes to show it’s worth heading out in the dark and the cold for ‘one more go’.<\/p>\n
