Description

I went out to Enchanted Rock TX to photograph the Geminids, but all I ended up seeing was a bunch of airplanes and satellites.  This was a few days earlier than the ideal time to view the Geminids (which is the 13th and 14th), but I was busy on a work trip during the week and had to go early.  The large hill on the horizon, to the left of the car, is Enchanted Rock.  I did see a few meteors that didn't appear anywhere near Gemini, but none showed up in the photos.  I thought it would look interesting to catch the meteors appearing as streaks in different directions than the star trails, but all I got were the airplanes and satellites.  I think if I go on the 13th or 14th next year and find a location that's not an airline superhighway, this would still be a good idea to try and capture.
