Hello list,
Finally, today I made the last composition of the Geminids I captured with 
my Canon EOS 10D and Canon EOS 40D. They were both equipped with two Canon 
EF 15 mm F 2.8 lenses (one I could borrow from Peter van Leuteren) and timer 
controllers TC-80N3.

The Canon EOS 10D was pointed to northern direction and captured two 
Geminids of magnitude -5 and -4 and two possible Hydrid fireballs of 
magnitude -5 and -8 (from this one only the last and brightest part is 
captured).

The Canon EOS 40D was pointed to southern direction and captured many 
Geminids of magnitude +1 to -5. A sporadic meteor of -2 was also captured by 
this kamera.

I wish all of you a happy new year and good meteor hunting for 2010.
Koen
