Geminids Meteor Shower 2020

Description

The Geminids are considered to be one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year, with the possibility of sighting around 120 meteors per hour at its peak, which was on the night of December 13, 2020, this image is a blend of many images with meteors and fireballs, the radiant point of all the meteors except a few sporadic meteors are pointed towards the Gemini constellation, more specifically near the star Castor. It was truly a spectacular meteor shower due to the moonless night. Visually I was able to spot 454 meteors, all were slow-moving, and I was able to spot them easily.
Technical details: 
Captured 5000 images and selected only 70 images with meteors. captured with Canon 6D, 12mm Samyang f/2.8 at ISO:1600, 10-sec exposure,  tracked on star adventurer throughout the night. Some images were captured with Canon 700D, 14mm Samyang lens. It took me 2 days to process the images, I had to individually select the meteors and erased the remaining sky to avoid background light pollution glow.
