From Beginner To Shooting Stars: Witnessing The Spectacular Geminids Meteor Shower!
In this video I venture out with some Astrophotographer friends to observe and capture the Geminids meteor shower. Its the 14th of DEC 2023 and this is my first time watching a meteor shower and it did not disappoint, in fact I cannot wait for the next one.
We just went armed with out DSLR's and plenty of warm drinks and snacks, and some comfy chairs.
It was a superb evening.
I shared the nights with

:Love these videos glen HNY to you Simon etal
Thank you Nik. Glad you like them, we genuinely have a great time when out and about and plan to do a lot more this year.
Happy new year and clear skies
Yet another great video Glenn, Simon and Paul! Glad you had a spell of clear skies, amazing pictures!!
Hi Jeremy, hope you are well and had a good xmas. Happy New Year. We were lucky as it started out very cloudy indeed. Thanks for watching and for all your support with the channel
Bloody brilliant 👍
Thank you.
Nice adventure :)
Yes it was!
Great reminder of a fantastic night Glenn! Was definitely the best meteor shower I’ve ever seen, nicely done mate! Great coffee, great company and great meteors, what’s not to like😀 Counting down till the next adventure! Clear skies!
Thanks SImon, It was a really good night as we always have. Looking forward to future adventures.
With all the food you brought it really was a feast.
Great video Glenn looks like you all had a fun evening
We did Tony. Thanks for joining us and for the support.
Great video Glenn. I used to watch meteor showers all the time in my younger years, it's been quite a while since I've seen one though. One of my fondest memories was seeing a spectacular display while on holiday with my folks back in 1982 (showing my age now!) as there was a brief period where the meteor rate was extremely high. A lot of people at the resort we were staying at were outside having a look at it was so unusual to see such an event. Never seen anything like it since unfortunately.
That sounds like an excellent experience Pete. The Geminids was a good excuse to pull up a chair and sit back and soak in the starry night sky. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Had a great time and will be searching out more for the future. Clear skies
Fantastic video guys, I’m so envious, meat pies…sigh!
Thanks Woody. As always we had a good night of Astro.
Spectacular
Thank you mate. We should arrange another trip out there
@@Astrobloke definitely
Great video, Glenn. It was a superb night and who would have thought that gap was the last clear sky we’d see for nearly 4 weeks! Really glad you enjoyed it and looking forward to more meteor goodness in the future. 👍
It was great to meet you Paul and look forward to meeting up again. We were so lucky to get that large gap so we could enjoy the sky and yes ever since its been awful. Clear skies
Looked like a great night out with plenty of food and coffee.... oh and meteors too. My meteor camera certainly picked up a lot around the time of the Geminids shower. Clear skies
Hi Logan and thanks mate, we had a great night. Did you capture the meteors and will you be sharing it? An all sky camera is on my to do list but also a cloud and rain monitor....going to have to decide soon.
I'm just about to go out in the cold and you've made me feel cold already!
Nice one lads.
Hey Nugsy, thanks for dropping in. It certainly was a very cold one here too last night, but clear for once with no moon so a good night for capturing. Clear skies.
Great video Glenn, and great skies there I lived in Halesworth about 12 years ago. Hope you are well
Thanks Steve. Thats not far from Yoxford I believe. I really love living in Suffolk. Where abouts are you now?
@@Astrobloke I live in Bristol now but maybe one day go back there
Great video Glenn, and a great adventure! I think I’ll setup my DSLR in video mode outside next time we have a meteor shower. One of my CCTV cameras is aimed skyward so I can see the current weather, clouds etc. Occasionally I have trawled back through a night’s recording and caught a few bright meteors. Besides using the DLSR in video mode I might try 10 second exposures to stack for multiple streaks. Happy New Year Glenn!
Hi Kevan and thank you. We had a fun night and I really enjoyed just sitting there for a few hours just watching the stars. We left the DSLR’s to do their thing with timelapses etc but as you most probably saw, even though we all had dew straps not one of us remembered to put them on……yet another lesson learnt. Clear skies and happy New Year.
@@Astrobloke Yes I saw the group error of the dew straps Glenn 😁 When we don’t image for a while or try something different there is always something we forget.
frikken astro-barrista! gg glenn & co from schweden
Thank you mate. The flat earth white is a speciality of mine now,,,,lol
