(meteorobs) Geminid observation December 14
Hi!
I observed the Geminids on December 14 from a location not in the suburbs of
Ljubljana. The sky was unusually transparent, allowing me to see as deep as
LM6.1 from this suburban location. The radiant was still low, 30-40 degrees,
but the Geminids were nonetheless very active with 45 shower members seen in
the hour! No fireballs, but overall the shower was quite bright. Can't wait for
next year: no Moon, shower peaks over Europe! Report (I didn't know the exact
locations of the minor shower radiants so I counted them all as sporadics):
Period F LM teff GEM Spor
20:42-21:42UT 1.00 6.09 1.00 45 8
Magnitude distribution:
GEM: -2(1) -1(1) 0(5) +1(9) +2(14) +3(13) +4(1) +5(1)
Spor: +1(2) +2(2) +3(1) +4(1) +5(2)
Clear skies!
