Well Geminidis are under way and I thought to post a link for those of you who are home due to bad weather.
http://spaceweather.com/
There's a link in the page that will let you listen LIVE the echos from the Geminidis.
If you can`t see them at least you can hear them! I`ve been listening for 15 minutes and I`ve counted at least 20!

Hi,
This is terrific! I got too cold and came inside so this is a very nice follow up. I saw quite a few meteors and 4 bolides tonight. They are moving so slowly you can really track them.

I listened on my laptop until I fell asleep. It's like strange but beautiful music.

Going to be 26 early next year!

Thanks for the early b-day wishes, guys! Yes, I hate my birthday and I hate thinking about getting older, but they say you're only as old as you feel, and I still feel 21, so i'm good to go for a while! (tell that to my aching back after 10 minutes of shovelling snow... ugh!!!  )

It's not the age but the mileage that wears on you. I have a 5yr old son and I do stupid stunts to make him laugh but my back or leg or arm or just everything in general hurts. I had to start going to the gym just to try to keep up with him. Being 35 is rough.

And a Happy Birthday to you, too, Tom!
All I wish for my birthday is a clear night, but all I'm getting is this dreadful snow/rain/sleet combination. Ah well, maybe Santa will be good to me and send me some good weather.

Thanks everyone! I have what I want...a happy, healthy wife, 5 rotten kids that are the best and I'm still here!
I would like that clear night, too!

Hey Buster and Tom, Happy Birthday to you both (have a young friend here who shares your birthday and HER biggest wish is that she passes her driver's license test). I hope you both have a wonderful day and clear skies tonight (is it possible Tom).
Emanuele, that site was very neat. I did get to see three meteors last night in a sucker hole that opened up last night. LarryC

miniventures I'm glad you like the website and that you saw some meteors.
Yesterday was cloudy here due to a cold front passing.

Buster and Emanuele, I'm receiving my Nexstar 80GT tomorrow so I'm going to name it after you.
At least until Thursday.

No clear nights tonight, Larry. Thanks for the cake Norvin! Matt, you really need to pay attention and stop dreaming about your new scope!

Ah, yes, I was given a clear night for my birthday! Plus, all the snow from yesterdays storm (6 inches) is already gone. Now, if I can just do something about this wind...
Thanks for the cake, Norvin, though I can't see the picture! (I'll take Tom's word for it)
Matt, don't name the scope after me. If you do, it's guaranteed to need collimation and be constantly out of focus. 
Gonna go set the Mak outside to cool. At this temperature, it should be ready for viewing by tomorrow morning.
