Continuing this discussion of the surprising variation in the color of these recent 
Geminid meteors, here are some links to images that a colleague has uploaded:  

Observed by Steinar Midtskogen from Solobservatoriet, Harestua, Norway:

He then moved each of the 108 exposures back to the center of the radiant 
and stacked those captures to produce this resulting image:

His "radiant" image clearly shows which meteors are members of the shower and 
which meteors are sporadics.
