(meteorobs) 12-12/13-00 Geminids East GA
As stated earlier, this was a one-hour early evening (7:43-851 PM) period
from a planned two-hour session. A "miraculous" clear sky developed and
allowed me to get over an hour's teff in just before moonrise last night. I
had seen a pre-radiant-rise earthgrazing fireball at 23:51 UT while it was
still terribly cloudy but nothing else until skies cleared around 00:35 UT.
I've also reformatted my report in plain text, non-HTML....hope it comes out
OK....
