The Winter Circle or Winter Hexagon is an asterism of a hexagon made of six stars. at Rigel, Aldebaran, Capella, Pollux, Procyon, and Sirius. Image is a blended composite where the sky was shot on the 13th of December during the Geminids Meteor shower so there are a couple of meteors in the frame that were captured within the 210 exposures. Unfortunately, there was clouds most of the night, so I wasn't able to utilize an image with more meteors from this night. I do have another with very short meteors when the clouds cleared towards the end of the night over a dune that I will be sharing later. Foreground was shot same day during blue hour just after sunset. Image was taken in the western desert in Al Fayoum, Egypt.
