Re: (meteorobs) Observation December 13/14 2003
I think one thing we can all gather from Pierre's envy-inducing report(s) is
that a bright moon does not a Geminids wash-out make. Really a heartening
thought for the future moon-obscured years.
Indeed, were it not for work responsibilities, I probably could have easily
topped 100+ Sunday night from my backyard, though with the moon it
undoubtedly would have taken all night to do so.
