Photographic Geminids observation on 13 December 2022

Here are the results of photographic Geminids observation on 13 December from 12:10 to 22:12 UT. The images were taken with the Pentax KP camera and 8.5 mm lens, without guiding. Most part of the night was with the gibbous waning Moon in the sky, only the first evening hours were dark, but with lower GEM radiant heights. The results are presented in the text form below and in the form of composite images for every hour of observations:
