Taking photos of the Geminids...Advice please?

[the lemming]

I've been waiting all year for my first ever viewing of the Geminids and I'd appreciate any help or advice to get the best images that I can.

 

I have a GH5, lawa 7.5mm lens and a sturdy tripod. I also have a Dark Sky location near me that is Milky Way class so I think I've touched all the basics.

I'm hoping to get a timelapse where I can mix and match some of the stills to create a Still composite of several good streaks as well.

Thing is, I've never done a star timelapse before, so I would appreciate settings advice.

Cheers

Hi I'm not sure what a GH5 is?

I've taken other meteor showers using a DSLR and lens, I used a intervalometer to take images through the night then sifted then next day to find any caught.

I used a lens and I think it was 15 seconds or so each exposure for the lens used before star trails showed. You can build a video from stills using for example Windows 10 pro, other solutions are possible as I've also build video timelapse using quicktime pro.
