During a new moon, in one of the darkest parts of Texas, I set up a custom rig of four cameras on December 13 to capture the Geminid meteor shower. I designed the 2x2 array to have a field of view nearly as large as a single 20 mm lens but with 16 to 32 times the sensitivity, higher resolution, and less distortion.
