Paul M 4,494 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I bagged what will likely be my one and only Geminid this year at about 04:30 this morning.I didn't get out of bed for it. I was on a night shift. Even when the clouds drifted away to the south the sky was very poor. My single meteor came after about ten minutes of watching. Gave up after another 5 minutes.Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

David Smith 7,355 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yep, 100% cloud, fog and drizzle here too Had hoped to have my first serious attempt at imaging meteors as the Geminids are pretty reliable. Maybe the Quadrantids then! Link to post Share on other sites

DaveS 8,553 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 It had cleared a little when I went to put the rubbish out so I took a chair into the back garden. No joy though, rubbish transparency and it clouded over again in about 5 mins. Must have heard me thinking about completing the drift alignment of my mount. Link to post Share on other sites
A40farinagolf 210 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Brill here in Cheshire, seen loads, different colours, different magnitudes, best ever and once they've gone overhead you can hear the rumble. Averaging about 1 every 2 minutes, some even seem to circle around for quite a while. Apologies as I'm too close to Manchester airport and got a bit confused. Total cloud cover I'm afraid. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DemosL 66 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Although it's been cloudy most of last week, I got out around 1:00 am to view Orion and one Geminid streaked though my FOV, when I was using my bins. Link to post Share on other sites

Bit too fast to get a good look, but it's an achievement!I woke up at midnight last night as clear outside predicted clear outside, to find total cloud cover. Link to post Share on other sites
