| Did anybody get any pictures of the meteor shower the other night? It was too cloudy here. |

| I don't want to steal the thread away, but I used a hurricane blower and most likely knocked loose dust specks near the CCD onto the CCD. Live and learn. ;) |

Oooh... that's a very sparkly CCD you have there!
Back to the thread... I only went out for a few minutes near the peak of the meteor shower and saw maybe four or five Geminids, but it was after midnight and well below freezing so I just couldn't muster the will to drag out my camera. Next time. The are plenty of good shots over at spaceweather.com. |

i tried to look for some the other night while I was flying back from St. Louis to Houston, but had no luck.
Sparkly, thats about the ummm how do i say this, but that is the dirtiest I have seen a sensor. Have you tried some 409 or Mr. Clean, aybe some soft scrub with clorox will do the trick ;)

I went out at about 1:30. But the sun was too bright. jk
I really did go out about 1:30 AM, and about 10 seconds after I looked up saw a nice bright one and got all excited. About a minute later I saw a second, fainter one, and figured if I saw another one, I'd go get my camera. Five minutes later, I hadn't seen any more, the fog was starting to build, it was cold and my feet were getting wet, so I gave up. |
