Excellent image by Halifax RASCal Jerry Black from last evening’s observing session at Saint Croix Observatory—3 meteors on a single 25-s frame, each meteor track traceable back to the Geminid Meteor Shower radiant point just above the stars Castor and Pollux. #RASCobserving pic.twitter.com/WrYZ4oHZ2Z
