(meteorobs) 1037 Geminids (individual!)!!!!!




Hello everybody,

A short note with some first very preliminary results. Between 20 and 7 UT
on 13/14 Koen Miskotte has observed   >>>  1037  <<<  meteors!!!! (Geminids
and sporadics). His highest count is between 00-01 UT (158). I am awake for
only half an hour or so by now, so I haven't yet listened to my tapes (and
this will take some time!), but usually I have similar numbers as Koen....
For us, these are record numbers.  The number of photographic hits might
actually be much more than the 150 I mentioned earlier....

Holy smoke, what a night!
