(meteorobs) Geminids



Hallo all,

We also had a chance to observe the geminid-shower ( 13 -> 14 dec ).
We live in Belgium but drove to the Netherlands (  Aardenburg ) in search
for dark skies.  Our ( effective ) observing session lasted some 3 hours
in which i recorded 135 geminids ( Lm about 5.5, haven't checked yet ).
An attempt was made to do some simultaneous photography with another
group, but the films still have to be developed...

All in all a magnificent evening : fireballs and much activity, what more
can you want ?

Observers : Kurt Jonckheere, Jan Vansteelandt, Kurt Dequick, Mike Rosseel
