Geminids?

[plastic-ninja]

We got a phone call from a friend tonight to ask if we were up for a drive to Shap summit to try & see the meteor shower.
The weather here has been dire all day but they assured us there was due to be a break in the cloud about 1am.
So we went up there & froze ourselves to the bone and sure enough at 1am on the button, there was a break in the cloud cover and we saw a token two shooting across the sky before it returned to solid cloud.
Now back home wondering if it might be clear at 4am as our friend also claimed.Maybe will just go to bed instead & leave the 4am shift to hardier souls than me! :umbrella:
Anyone else seen them tonight or last night?

Wish I had; we've had thunder, hailstones, torrential rain and gales all day here. The hail's stotting off the windows just now and keeping me awake.

Saw 2 on Friday night and one early Saturday morning. Having 2 large Velux windows above the bed helps!

Yeah......I've just seen a woodpecker flying backwards seriously, I have, and the magpies have given up trying and are walking everywhere. At least it's dry.

Clear skies would be a real pleasure just now, and better still tonight if there were a chance to see the stars
Pandabean's been taking some really good shots with the starry sky backgrounds I wonder if he'll manage something from the Geminids ?

cheers,
Toddy

I gave up in the evening due to the weather but woke up about 6.00am and it was clear, so I went out and saw 17 before it clouded over about 3/4 of an hour later.
