A lone Geminid meteor streaking away from Gemini, at centre, with Orion at upper right. Taken December 12, 2014, the night before the peak of the annual Geminid meteor shower. Taken from near Silver City New Mexico. Taken with the Canon 6D at ISO 3200, and the 14mm lens at f/2.8, for 40 seconds, as part of a 400-frame time-lapse sequence. But this was the only meteor caught!
A composite of 5 frames from a 200-frame time-lapse attempting to record the Leonid meteor shower in 2014. 5 Leonids are recorded here near centre where Leo is rising in the east. Jupiter is the bright object at lower right. One bright sporadic meteor is at far left not part of the meteor shower. The Big Dipper is at left as well, with the handle having jusr risen. The green is from airglow. While the Leonid meteors shown here were recorded over a two hour period, the stars are from the last frame of the set of five, so the meteors are not positioned with respect to the rising radiant point but with respect to the sky on the fixed camera. Each frame was 30 seconds at ISO 4000 with the Canon 6D and 14mm lens at f/2.8. Taken from near Silver City, New Mexico.
Two Perseid meteors on August 11, 2014, the night before the peak of the meteor shower, caught in two separate exposures and composited into one frame. The ground is mostly from one frame with some lighting on the mountains contributed from the second frame. Illumination is from the nearly Full Moon (one day past a “supermoon”) off frame to the left. It is casting cloud shadows across the sky. The lake was calm for some shots and added the reflection. This image is from two frames taken as part of a 555-frame time-lapse, with the Canon 5D Mark II and Rokinon 14mm lens, taken in hopes of catching some meteors. Each frame was 15 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 3200.
