Excellent Geminids about to peak!


 

Hello all!

Raynomd and I are on our way to the Cincinnati Dark Sky site (near Peebles, Ohio) to be in an optimal area for the Geminids for tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday nights! ?We’re heading to the same site that we went for the 2012 Geminids.

The clouds do look like they will part Ottawa region on Wednesday night! ?I would urge everyone to give the excellent Geminids a try and report what you see. ?Thursday night could also offer good rates and possibly brighter meteors as the rates begin to decline. ?The peak time this year falls in the middle of the afternoon on the 14th. ?So I would definitely recommend observing on both the Wednesday and Thursday nights!

Cheers!
Pierre

Enjoy the Geminids Pierre and Raymond!?

I will be setting up tonight in town and will be in the lookout for them, as well as other sites from my vantage point!

Hope the weather holds out for us!

Hi Folks,

My son-in-law went outside last night in Wynyard, SK to check on the meteors but the sky was too bright to see many of them.

Have a great day. This is a cell phone image.
