Hello Marco (and everyone else) --
The good news on Sunday night was that we were blessed with perfectly clear
skies. The bad news was that temperatures fell to about 18F/0C with a
northwest wind at 30 mph/46 km/hr.
Sorry folks. . . I didn't go out. Were it the Leonids with the prospects of
enhanced activity. . . or a Geminid night with no Moon, I would probably have
stuck it out. But with a 98% illuminated Moon in Orions club and the weather
service close to issuing a "brass monkey advisory" I decided to wait until
next year for a crack at the Gems.
