Amazing
display of fireworks on this evening, this was one of the
not-so-bright flashes, but still an interesting capture.
About 20 miles from downtown Chicago. Clouds rolling in
from the west. Geminid in upper left corner.

The
Geminids are wonderfull! I was able to capture this fireballish
meteor just after midnight. One meteor that I didnt get
on camera produced shadows more intense than during a full
moon!

Even
though I had and still have a very busy week, last night
I got out for about 2,5 hours to observe the Geminids. Lots
of meteors and a few fireballs. Great night! This is the
nicest digital image I got. |

I
was trying to photograph faint Auroras that were coming
and going at 1am Dec 11th over Chippewa Falls, WI when this
beautiful Geminid Meteor streaked through the sky above
my neighborhood. You can also see the city glow to the west.
