After two successful Geminid captures (particularly last year) I guess the weather wasn't in my favor this year. I made an attempt at photographing the Geminids meteor shower on December 11, 2014 at 9:11pm. It was a completely clear evening and sunset, and started with a clear sky - but I think the warm air during the day led to a blanket of clouds after sunset even though the forecast actually looked very promising!
As with any failed meteor attempt, you always walk away with some consolation prizes in the form of star trails or even a couple neat sky pics. Here's what I managed - no meteors but a nice view of my favorite constellation Perseus over my neighbor's unfinished house:

| Canon T5i single frame f/4, 18mm, 15 sec, ISO 800 |

| Canon T5i single frame f/4, 18mm, 15 sec, ISO 800 about 20 minutes later... |
 |
| 92 images stacked in StarStaX |
 |
| Photos above adjusted in the app Snapseed using the 'Automatic' filter, it does some quick work! |
I made the images into a timelapse video: 152 individual frames taken with Canon T5i, each at f/4, 18mm, ISO 800, 15 sec; Timelapse in Sony Vegas with 0.07s still image duration each.
