(meteorobs) Video Geminid report from Colorado

[Chris Peterson]

The iced over camera was definitely reducing sensitivity; under better 
conditions I probably would have had two or three times more events. 
Many of the sporadics are probably Geminids as well; the ice distorts 
the image and makes it hard to determine the radiant.
