An early Geminid meteor & plane trail

            Caught an early Geminid. This was taken a few days before the peak of the meteor shower.

While I was collecting subs for the flame nebula, I left my backup camera to shoot at the radiant point of Geminids. Wasn't expecting anything to turn up since it wasn't the peak of the meteor shower. Somehow the 80 shots shutter count used was not in vain as there was a small meteor (top left) captured. Bottom right is a plane trail, which is distinctively different from a meteor. 

Bright star - Jupiter and the radiant point is near Castor, a star located at the southwest of Jupiter.
