Details:
With temperatures in the single digits (F), I elected to photograph this year's Geminids through my window using Fujifilm X-T3 and Fuji's 16-55mm f/2.8 lens. Time lapse ran from 0:50AM to 3:07AM on 13 Dec at 13 secs, f/2.8, iso 1600. The first meteor recorded looking northeast was at 1:09AM and the last 2:47AM. Some green and red airglow was detected although faint.
I was surprised at the quality of this stacked image (8x13s) considering it was taken through a mostly clean double pane window.
Forecast is for clouds tonight so I'm happy I got something. The brightest meteor was probably -2 magnitude. Fresh snow storm dropped over 3" a few hours earlier.
