Geminid Meteor Shower 2014

[Mesosphere]

Anyone heading out to watch this tonight/tomorrow? Waning gibbous moon does rise at the back of 10 though so will wash out the faintest but we should still see the brightest coming through Forecast looks good for most of Scotland, eastern N.Ireland and the bulk of England

I will pop out a bit later and see if I can find a spot out off the wind   lately I have been setting up a video camera and filming any activity while staying in the warm

I didn't go out but I was out emptying the bin in work at 6 yesterday and saw an amazing meteor at first I actually thought it was a firework really bright and vivid.

It's been cloudy the last few nights, so I'm hoping it will clearer tonight so I can see.

I'm not at home atm, I'm down in Milton Keynes. Does anyone know any places with nearby with relatively dark skies I could go to?

[James M]

Count up to 14 so far. Watching in 30 minute shifts thought because it's freezing down here lol

[picog]

Is there a best direction to look?

[James M]

They're emanating from a point near the constellation Gemini hence the name. So if you can find that, as it will obviously move throughout the night, but generally atm a SE direction yeah

[Lauren]

Will they be visible tomorrow too?

[James M]

Final count of the evening 33. Not too bad considering I couldn't stay out too long.

I let the dog out about 4oclock this am and saw a fairly bright one pass by Orion. Too cold to stand in my jammies with the door open though.
