About this image

I caught this Geminid meteor between Orion and Taurus on the night of 14 December 2022 at 22:45 UT. Despite the moonlight this year there were lots of Geminids to be seen and caught on camera. The sky remained clear throughout and I was able to record quite a few meteors. I ended up taking 5,539 images and caught 81 Geminids. This picture was the best one.
