Re: (meteorobs) Great White North Geminids...

Greetings
I live in almont and decided to make a run to the south west of perth abd was
rewarded by about 90 min of clear skies around 3:00 est it came in two 45 min
periods and i saw about 49 gem in the first clear period and about 61 during the
second clear patch .. My summer stormchasing came in handy mabey all those in
this area should consider car pooling on such nights
