Peak Geminid

On 12/14/2024 04:05 am by Eliot Herman | Website | Tucson AZ

At 4:05 am, note this meteor is a double with a faint parallel meteor. The landscape is lit by the near full Moon and the color balance is an attempt to make the landscape and sky a realistic color, at least to my eye. The was a small burst of four meteors within a few minutes of this one. Although the Moon detracts from capturing faint meteors, or seeing them, the landscape illumination that comes with a bright Moon can be an asset for photography.
