>REMARKS:
>1.I SAW MY FIRST COLORED METEOR AT 0029!
>2.MY SECOND SESSION'S LM MIGHT OF BEEN AROUND +4.5 IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE
>NEARLY FULL MOON 15 DEGREES FROM THE HORIZON.
>3.MY METEOR AT 0300 HAD ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A GEMINID, BUT THE GEMINIDS
>HAVE NOT BEGUN YET; I LABELED IT AS A SPORADIC.
>4.AS ALWAYS, MY SECOND SESSION SAW ANOTHER METEOR OUTBURST!
>---------------------------------------------------------
>QUESTIONS:
>1.ON THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 14, 1996, THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER IS GOING TO
>PEAK. WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED PEAK SPAN(IE,0235UT-0400UT)? I MAY BE ABLE TO
>OBSERVE IT!
