Image Description and Details :

Here an image of the Geminides meteor shower as seen from the cockpit at an altitude of 40.000’. It was taken yesterday morning on a flight from Denmark back to The Netherlands. Being high above the clouds meant my copilot and I wouldn't be bothered by the thick clouds which covered most of Europe during the peak of this year’s shower. The landing light I switched on for a better composition, to lead the eye towards the constellation of Gemini.The image is a composite of 10 different images, blended together in Photoshop. Taken with a canon 6D an a Samyang 14mm lens.

Geminids 2020 meteor shower composite panorama. This years maximum night was really crazy for me. I spent 10 hours on the slope of Elbrus mountain at an altitude of 4000m with completely clear sky and fascinating transparency of the atmosphere. Luckily the weather was calm with modest wind and just -15C degrees.I was lucky to witness ~720 Geminid meteors, catching ~150 of them in frames as my cameras made continiously 1300+ shots. Was easily the most impessive meteor shower i've seen so far with, thanks to unique observing conditions. Canon 6Da + Tamron15-30 f2.8 iso5000 20s - 16shots pano for the sky is stereographic projectionContinious shooting on 2 cameras for meteors:Canon 6Da + Tamron15-30 f2.8 iso6400 30s - 720 shots.Canon 5D2 + Samyang 24 f2.0 iso5000 20s - 600 shots.
