Mega Moonlit Geminid of 2024

This image was taken just before 5:00am on the beaches of Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland. The wind was really blowing off the ocean kicking up some nice waves which created some minor erosion along the shoreline.

I only had the camera set up here for about 25 minutes before I captured this meteor. I thought it was out of my frame since I wasn't with my camera when I saw it fall. I was pleasantly surprised to see it when I reviewed my images.

I never let the moon, or the cold keep me in for the Geminids!
