Howdy all;

I did two rather short observing sessions looking for Geminid meteors. 
One was from 10:30 PM on Sunday evening.  I observed for 30 mintes and saw
9 meteors, one was a fireball.  I got up at 4 AM and stepped outside for
20 minutes.  During the later session I observed 11 meteors and two were
very bright (equal to Sirius).  Most where short meteors of about 3rd
magnitude.

All these observations are from the North Ranch RV park, about 10 miles NW
of Wickenburg.

Clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
