michael.h.f.wilkinson Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Bad luck. I spotted only two or three. One nice long trail, but otherwise nothing to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_screech Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 I saw several visually, one bright in the area I was imaging and luck would have it it was when the camera shutter was closed between frames! Ahhhhhhhhhh.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmum Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 James_screech, I love your star trail picture. I've not seen one so dense before. It is very effective even without Geminids. Alison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Had a look for an hour, saw a couple, didn't bother trying to get any pic's as last time I set up two cameras for four hours and got squat as they were all really camera shy.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Presland Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 nice star trails though, I saw quite a few until the clouds moved in at around 1:30-2:00. managed to get 7-8 frames with meteors in them, quite faint though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symesie04 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I saw loads visually but somehow also missed them with the lens. Nice star trail though, kinda reminds me of the rings of Saturn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starman1969 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Meteors are so difficult to catch. They often evade my lens too, so I have to be very patient. However, this year was my best for capturing meteors on camera. I don't even know how many I caught, but it must be more than 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
