Re: (meteorobs) Don't miss the Geminids Dec 13/14...a good shower



Dear Meteor Observing Collegues,

     A big hearty AMEN to this reminder about the Geminids from George
ZAY!  Observing through the 70's and 80's, the Geminids were
consistently the best meteor shower to watch for both quantity of
meteors and quality of meteors.  Plus the Geminids have been quite
consistent, even into the 90's in that you can count on a significant
number of meteors on both the nights of DEC 12/13 and DEC 13/14.
Observing on several ocassions with Norman McCLEOD III, we agreed that
the Geminids were the best annual meteor shower that gave consistently
decent meteor rates (over 50/hour) and produced numerous bright and
colorful meteors.  Therefore, by all means folks ... get out and watch
the Geminds next month!
