2009 Geminid Meteor Shower Report
The sky was cloud free, and I easily had a limiting magnitude of at least 5.5 at zenith. Immediately I observed one, then two, then three meteors in rapid succession. Though I had dressed for the cold, it didn’t take long for me to get really chilled. Within about 10-15 minutes I had counted six Geminids.
