It was a pretty disappointing night for sure wasn't it.

I watched for two hours between 1.40am and 4.00am and only got 10 wee tiddlers. The last two years my daughter has watched the Geminids with me with so much excitement. Just as well she didn't join me this year and ruined the memory.

But boy, it's special watching these events with children isn't it. When they perform.

On the upside, the ISS made a gorgeous bright pass starting around 3.55am right next to Jupiter low on the horizon. At first my eyes nearly popped out of my sockets as it looked like Jupiter was moving and then errrrr I realised.
