Geminide meteor shower 2021

Image Description and Details : Here an image of the Geminides meteor shower as seen from the cockpit at an altitude of 40.000’. It was taken yesterday morning on a flight from Denmark back to The Netherlands. Being high above the clouds meant my copilot and I wouldn't be bothered by the thick clouds which covered most of Europe during the peak of this year’s shower. The landing light I switched on for a better composition, to lead the eye towards the constellation of Gemini.

The image is a composite of 10 different images, blended together in Photoshop. Taken with a canon 6D an a Samyang 14mm lens.
