 Dear all,
 
 Last month Leonids were dissapointing due to heavy downpour (monsoon
season) but luckily the night of Geminids there was no rain, only clear
skies.  I saw more than 50 Geminids crossing the night sky.  It was really
great. I myself and a few friends really enjoyed the show.  Most of my
friends had not seen the meteors.  As per prediction, the peak hours is at
2200 UT. We had to stop looking when the cloud came and covered the sky.  I
am quite frustrated not to watch Geminids at the peak hours. Hopefully this
coming Ursids will be a great phenomenon to be seen.
 
 Rosdin.
