Watching For Geminids

The Geminid meteor shower will peak on December 14, and we've had some very clear (and VERY cold) nights here in the northwest. I've set up my all-sky camera to watch for meteors streaking overhead. Here is a brief, bright meteor passing from west-to-east (with the resulting still-image trail included) at 5:19 a.m. on Tuesday, December 8. The last-quarter Moon shines bright, high in the southern sky.
For the daytime view from this camera, go to my website and click on the WebCam link. Enjoy...
