======================
6 Geminids, 3 sporadics

0938 sky brightness: zenith SQM 21.61 ~6.4

NOTE: Perhaps I should have not submitted this report.  Was very fatigued due to previous two nights of observing.  The only conclusion that should be drawn from these meager observations is that the Geminid activity the night after maximum (in West Texas, anyway) was much reduced from what was seen the night before maximum, at least between 0830 and 0937 UT.
