If you want something interesting to shoot tonight

gus

I worked throughout last night & saw heaps of meteors from this shower from 11 pm until about 4am..maybe some of you on the wrong side of the time line may want to have a try at shooting it tonight.

Its the Geminid shower...much better than the leonid which i have seen several times.

oooooo..... sounds good.
looks like tonight might be a good night for a campfire and a few beers and watch the stars perform!
thanks for the link - pretty neat!



PS: nice to have news on something that's happening on the 'wrong' side of the world too!!!
