About this image

An experiment to see if I could capture faint Geminids close to the radiant. Pointed my Seestar S30 at the radiant for 5 hours 20 minutes taking 10 sec exposures. No faint Geminids detected, just half of a single bright one at 01.04.

The splodge at left is lens flare from Castor.
