Hi,
The rates have gone up considerably.
Last night I recorded 69 Meteors, 45 of which were Geminids.
Still sub zero here but hopefully the skies will stay clear tonight for the peak of the shower.
Cheers,
Bill.

Hi,
Things got a bit misty late on and -5 deg C to boot.
But there was some good activity. In excess of 150 Geminids on video.
A few crackers too!
Pics to follow.
With the peak occuring right now there should still be good activity tonight also.
Cheers,
Bill.
