What better way to start 2012 than with a meteor shower, the Quadrantids to be exact.

No, you don’t, but a good pair of binoculars could enhance the show. Also, get your camera ready on a tripod. To get the above, Brian Emfinger used a Canon T1i camera with 8mm Fisheye lens at F3.5 and ISO3200, exposing for 30 seconds.
