[PBSS] more meteors

[J. LaRue Thomas]

Hey, all, the geminids!

The following is from http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22149504/?GT1=10645

<<Generally speaking, depending on your location, Gemini begins to come up 
above the east-northeast horizon right around the time evening twilight is 
coming to an end. So you might catch sight of a few early Geminids as soon 
as the sky gets dark.
There is a fair chance of perhaps catching sight of some "Earth-grazing" 
meteors. Earth grazers are long, bright shooting stars that streak overhead 
from a point near to even just below the horizon. Such meteors are so 
distinctive because they follow long paths nearly parallel to our 
atmosphere.

The Geminids begin to appear noticeably more numerous in the hours after 10 
p.m. local time, because the shower's radiant is already fairly high in the 
eastern sky by then. The best views, however, come around 2 a.m. local time, 
when their radiant point will be passing very nearly overhead.>>

For Sonora: Friday night mostly cloudy; Saturday night mostly clear (and not 
supposed to be raining). Jacqui
