Clear & Crispy...
Woke up at 5am to pop out & watch the fire show... to find that Jack Frost had definitely visited during those few hours of sleep. The windows of the car had frozen, so I decided to watch from the garden instead of the beach.
Wow, what a show.... over 30 in 15 minutes... not around Gemini at all, some way over on the other side of the sky. Saw 2 streak across the sky in a slow burn, never seen 2 together before.
Very clear night, perfect viewing, just very cold. Some results describe 140 shooting stars in the hour's peak, other 100... bright, coloured, slow streaks... definitely worth the wee hours wake up call.
Moment of the new moon tonight just after midnight in Scorpio... great stargazing at new moon... Going to head to the beach & light a bonfire, maybe even have a midnight feast of toasted twisted stick bannock bread. Good night & keep skywatching!
