Geminid Meteor Shower
I was able to catch 10 or 11 meteors last night. I'm not sure about one of them, it might be a satellite trail. I tracked Castor and Pollux, the brightest stars in the constellation Gemini and let the tracker and camera run from 11:30 pm to about 1:00 am.
Most of the meteors point back to the constellation of Gemini, in front of which a comet and its tail crossed the orbit of the earth. The debris is still lingering there, and when the earth reaches that area, a lot of the comet bits burn up in the atmosphere.
