Gemenids

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!)

Stars, Joshua Tree

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.
