I of course will use any clear night. So far 6 GEM in 6.80 hours over 3  
mornings (Dec 3,6,8)
Tonight and tomorrow look like they will be overcats so  it looks like this 
"moonth" is over.
I will spend some time battling the moon  later in the week if and when it 
clears :)
 
In my Night Sky column on SPACE.com this coming Friday,  I suggest viewers 
try for some Geminid Earthgrazers on Sunday night (in the  short window of dark 
sky between the end of evening twilight and  moonrise).  Traditionally, the 
brightest Geminids tend to appear during and  just after the peak, so Sunday 
evening . . . which is only hours after the peak  . . . is a good time to try and 
see a "skimmer" or two.
