Re: (meteorobs) Re: meteorobs-digest V3 #223
I live, and observe near the coast (South Carolina) and can verify the
"haze" that is often encountered here. It is usually in the warmer months
though, and not too much trouble this time of year. I have always associated
it with the high humidity, but that may be incorrect (any weather gurus care
to set the record straight?). But in any case, I don't see a reason to leave
the dark site of a farm to come to the coast either.

Two things:
To the observer considering a trip to the Atlantic Coast for a Geminid
session. If your farm is as dark as you say, and if skies are clear there, I
wouldn't go to the ocean. I've done some observing along coastlines and have
almost always encountered a low-level haze which I presume to be due to the
nearness of a large body of water. I confess to never observing in cooler
winter months. Maybe the haze isn't there then.
