Comet 46P/Wirtanen & Geminid Meteor - 2018-12-13

While gathering data for an image of comet 46P/Wirtanen on the night of the Geminid meteor shower, one of the frames caught a bright meteor coursing through the field of view. There is a second much fainter meteor visible nearer to the comet itself.
