Re: (meteorobs) the radiant
Johnie, I believe what you are talking about are the "tick marks" showing
the position of the radiant on those dates. The best time to view the
Geminids will be from around 10 pm local time on into the morning hours.

Being still a beginner, although braving the cold night to see 20 Leonids
per
hour on the 17th, I do not understand how to follow right declination, etc,
directions in order to spot the radiant of the shower. I went to the website
to see the diagram on the Geminids and had another question occur: why are
there three or more lines in the diagram which have date notations, December
10-15, written just above or below a line in it. Any help prior to Monday
night when we will bundle up and go see the 50-60, I hope, Geminids per hour
would be appreciated. Also, one final question--what would be the best time
to view, considering Oklahoma as the locus of the viewer. Thanks.
