Fingers crossed, our little uns were gutted they didn't get to see the geminids.
Cheers for the heads up.:thumbup:
touched by nature
I didn't get to see any of the autumn/early winter ones due to cloud cover. This one is supposed to have some of the brightest after the moon goes down. 
I see at least one shooting star most nights when I'm walking the dog,( lack of cloud cover permitting) I've never seen an actual 'shower' though whenever a meteor shower is announced. A streak every 5 - 10 minutes doesn't constitute a shower in my book.especially when a shooting star a minute is advertised

I'm going to try to be on Wam Barrows, Exmoor, for this - no light pollution and a grand hole to lie up in
I finished work on the 20th and we haven't had a dry day here in Cumbria since. I'm such a hopeless optimist though that I'm hoping to see these tonight.
