A lone meteor from the 2023 Geminid meteor shower streaks away from the radiant point in Gemini at lower left, with the meteor in Auriga and above Orion rising at lower centre. An aurora brightens the northern sky at left. Jupiter is bright at upper right.

This was one frame, and the only frame, out of 400 shot this night with this camera that recorded a meteor, though clouds intervened for most of the frames. 30 seconds with the RF15-35mm lens at f/2.8 on the Canon Ra at ISO 1600 and tracking the sky on the Star Adventurer tracker. Shot from home in southern Alberta December 13, 2023.
