Hello list,
One of my best observing nights (except de Leonids returns since 1995) is 13/14-12-1996. Maximum felt around midnight 13 december 22-23 UT. Lm 6,6-6.7 and hourly counts up to 120. After 1;00 UT bright Gems starts to appear with counts up to 70-80 meteors an hour. Brightest Gems were magnitude -8, -5, -4 and many in the range 0 to -3. This night I ended up with 1000+ meteors (teff 10+ hours). It became a awesome night I will remember the rest of my life. Bright Gemninid returns i have seen seven times since 1980. 
Hopefully this year again???
Best wishes, 
Koen
