2012 Perseid Meteor Shower Report

Though I did not experience 90 Perseids per hour, the 14 I did observe helped to rekindle that passion in my being by simply becoming as one with the universe for an hour or so.

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.
