Details:
I want out side as i do every clear evening and set my Camera up and to watch the night sky go by.
At first I captured the international space station on Tuesday 8.12.15 at 18:34pm and two minutes later I viewed the supply shuttle which was just a bright flash like a iridium flare in this time I had also seen many Geminids with in the space of 20 minutes of been out.
Later that night as i watched on I viewed plenty of more meteors which where fast moving and quite bright at times, i also managed to capture one long very bright one which I have the original image of and a zoomed in image.
This meteor show in particular I love as I think it get better every year only 4 years ago I seen the best fireball I had ever witnessed and it was from the Geminid meteor shower.
It was a bright blue meteor which shot downwards from the mid sky over the northern horizon, It had turned the sky night to day time for a few seconds which was amazing.
