(meteorobs) GEM Observations from Hawaii Dec 13/14.

[M Linnolt]

We have some strong, wet trade wind weather now in
Hawaii, which makes for difficult observing down near
sea level...But I did get a decent opening in the
clouds last evening near 10pm, which lasted approx.
30mins, so I was able to do some official counting.
Report is attached below...

Nothing too spectacular was seen, mostly moderately
faint GEM's. Unfortunatley the best meteor occured an
hour or so before I started counting, a gorgeous,
bluish, -3 teardrop shaped one, passing between the
clouds! Quite a sight.
