| Period: Dec 14 02 AM
hours Method : Visual / Tape Mag : ~ 2-3, with varying clouds cover condition Overall - Observation site was not ideal - the park lighting was left switch-on through out the night. I have to leave the field when group of youngsters decided to play street football. Despite these a respectful number of bright Geminids were seen with majority of them of the brighter than 0 mag. Clouds moved in and out (facts of life here) but finally fatigue set in I packed up around 3:30. In a darker site with less interruptions I believe the number seen could be triple. |
