Geminids 2013 - Reports

The best of the Geminids is almost upon us, peaking as it does this Saturday morning the 14th Dec.
As luck would have it (touch Wood) skies are clear up here in Gove NT.
I will try my luck tomorrow morning to test the waters.
I have attached a chart showing the moon heading below the horizon around 3:30 am, so a good clear hour to observe up here at least.

What have you seen of the Geminids so far, love to hear your reports as we go through the peak and out the other side. Peak rates can be as high as 120/hr !
