Details:
18 frames taken from 12:03AM to 3:46AM on 14 Dec in Leo (Regulus is the brighest star @ 4 o'clock from center) captured several Geminids (general top to bottom) and 4 sporadic meteors (moving right to left).
Because the radiant point in Gemini moved over this ~4 hour period, meteor shower members were not parallel.
I thought that there would be more meteors away from the radiant point, but activity may have intensified only after this time period as noted in my later stacked image: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/45433847505/in/photost....
Tech Specs: Nikon d7100, Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 @ f/2.8, iso 2200, 18x40s, Astrotrek Mount, PS 6.0.
