The Geminids 2015 14th of December 2015,Germerswang,Fürstenfeldbruck Th.Boeckel |
Radiant of meteors
A clear night
sky, new moon and the Geminides almost give this meteor cocktail shown
below by showing a radiant. This means that all the meteors appear to
come from one point. This point is located in the constellation Gemini, from where the meteor shower is named. Unfortunately often
times stubborn cloud fields joined the clear night sky, hence we had
only 3 hours time to take pictures. Nikon 10,5mm fisheye, f2.8 on Canon 5D, composit of 12x30 sec, ASA 1600 More infos at Arbeitskreis Meteore e.V. All meteor observations |
