After work today i felt to lazy to drag the outfit out, so spent 40 minutes looking around with the 9x63's under near perfect skies- bliss, it is star clusters galore this time of year.

Saw a couple of potential Geminids, arising from Gemini and almost making it to Capricornus. I could only describe them as being like mini Leonids in every way, about 1/3 slower too.
The first was at about 9.21pm AEST and again at around 9.35 pm.
Might have got lucky again..lol
