Startrail with 11mm lens

The idea was to take pictures of the Geminid meteor shower but at the time the shutter went open only a few showed up. In stead of deleting the pictures I stacked the pack using startrails.de
The pictures are taken with a Nikon D7500 and Tamron 11mm lens. A total of 72 pictures, each ISO1600 15s. The view is towards the south-eastern horizon,

Comet 46P/Wirtanen


Wield field picture of the South-East horizon during evening sky and showing Comet 46P/Wirtanen. Maybe a couple of days more waiting before it the comet can be seen by the naked eye. In the mean time, the picture provides a nice overview where to look.
