Last night was the peak of the Gemenids meteor shower. I took some pictures, mostly at 20 seconds and 2000 ISO.
Here is one, with the horizon.
Here’s one of the longest and brightest stars of the night. (I got lucky!)
A wide angle shot of the same Joshua Tree as below. Funky colors in the sky courtesy of Lightroom.
Same Joshua Tree, but with a bit of zoom instead. And different sky colors
Less funky colors and gradiations here since it’s a different part of the horizon and away from city lights.
The same set of rocks, but this time I tried to include a bit of the Milky Way. It’s not quite as vivid as it was at the Big Island, but still quite obvious. (Or I’m really confused)
And lastly, here’s a crop where you can see that the stars are streaking, most of these photos are just too resized to be obvious. Almost all of these are approximately 90 second exposures.
