A nice clear, transparent sky this morning on Molokai, with a bit of a chill (for Hawaii, needed a sweater!) trade wind and 20C weather. I did a 36 minute session just before morning twilight, to see what the Geminids might be up to... As expected, I saw a low level of GEM activity (3 meteors) so the shower appears to be on a normal upswing. Waning crescent moon didn't pose too much of a problem, lowering the LM to 5.7
