Details:
Captured a bright Geminid meteor just over the Pleiades, with the comet forming a triangle with it and the head for Taurus. There was plenty of cloud about, but not enough to obscure the scene.
Taken with Nikon D5300, Nikkor 28mm f2.8 lens, attached to C8 for tracking. Single exposure 13 sec at ISO 6,400, processed in PSE 13.
Caught two meteors in total over two minutes twenty seconds and included both in a short animated GIF.
