Hi Rochelle,

It's actually the Geminid Meteor Shower, not the Germinids. Named after the Constellation in which they appear to come from, or where the radiant is. Always look forward to this shower, only really observed them for the last two years, and they never disappoint. Hopefully with my dew heater on the camera I should be able to run all night... Might have to see about borrowing a 10-20mm lens now...
