(meteorobs) Quick summary of Dec 11/12 2015 Geminid obs from North Florida

[Paul Jones]

Thank you and WOW, Pierre - now that's what I call a "ROAD TRIP"...;o).
Best of luck and I am sure that by what I saw this morning you will be well
rewarded indeed for your effort!  We are iffy here for max night, there is
talk of a front dropping in on Sunday night.  We will be touch and go here
for the max, but we should be good for tonight/tomorrow morning.

Clear skies all, Paul J in North Florida
