Geminid Meteor

After 3 days of trying I finally managed to capture a Geminid Meteor, and it felt good.

 

Day1 - had completly clear skies, 30 sec exposure ISO 800, only small meteors in viewfinder never showed up

 

Day2 - Cloudy

 

Day3 - Clear skies again. This time set my exposure to 8 seconds at ISO 1600, captured a a couple of little ones but didnt really show.

Then all of a sudden this beauty went streaking down the middle of my shot, quickly looked down at my camera and luckily it was capturing, image popped up on my display and I was very happy to say the lease, Might not look like much but it made my day.

 

I've stacked it with my other exposures to reduce the noise.
