Was pretty decent here last night from 10-1230. Then the cloudy rolled in quick. Saw 1 really good one though and dozen okay ones.

 

[Capt.Ahab]

All fogged up here, unfortunately. Couldn't see anything.

Only saw 2. Too cloudy in the EU.

 

[Iffy]

Geminids is coming up soon. (mid-evening December 13 until dawn December 14.)

Last years was epic for us and I will probably never forget. Well worth the outside December temps.

I am going to catch these this year. Divorce can create amazing opportunities. I moved 150 miles away from Oakland CA into the Lost Sierra Mountains, population 1270. I can see the Milky way galaxy from my front porch. Thanks for the reminder KONY!

 

[KONY]

Weather forecast is going to be perfect here tonight. I am freaking stoked.

 

[Chuck E. Kush]

I caught some nice ones last night...
Looking forward to more tonight...
Peace

I saw 2 good ones, although not nearly as good as the great one we saw last year. The first good one I saw within first minute of being out there. Very bright white tail, but not that long. The second good one I saw was long and left a nice tail behind it.



I saw dozens of mediocre ones and a few that were in between epic and mediocre.
All in all I would give this years shower, for me anywho a 8/10.
