Observations (from 2016 to 2020) of the Geminids from different regions of Russia by an amateur astronomer
Abstract
I present the results of my observations (visual and photographic) of the Geminid meteor shower in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020. I observed meteors from different regions (Moscow and Primorsky Krai) of Russia, under different observation conditions: light pollution, Moon phases and weather. I used a DSLR camera with a lens to photograph meteor tracks. I compare the results of my visual observations in different years and determine the coordinates of the meteors from the photographs to graphically demonstrate the radiant.
