(meteorobs) Central Texas Geminids - Dec 13/14 summary

[Ed Cannon]

Quick summary for Thursday, December 13/14 (14 Dec 2006 UTC)

Location: 40 miles (64 km) NW of Austin, Texas
LM = +5.5
Teff = 88 mins (1.47 hour between 5:10 and 8:05 UTC)
GEM = 131
Others = 11

In 15 minutes Teff between 7:42:00 and 7:59:00 UTC I counted
35 GEM, for a raw rate of 140 per hour.

Also, yesterday I tried to send a correction to my quick
summary for 12/13 December, but it has not gone through yet.
So I'll repeat it here and hope this goes through.

Correction for 12/13 Dec.  I wrote:

Of course, that "LEO" was supposed to be "GEM"!

I'll send details for 12/13 and 13/14 later.

P.S. The weather appears to be deteriorating here, but if
tonight is reasonably good I'll try to make it three nights
in a row.
