Thanks Patrick,
I had a feeling I was a bit early for the geminids,but I read some reports of people seeing some at 10pm.Still the conditions were not right.
I have only ever seen one meteor from a metoer shower knowingly and that was from orion, a beautiful bright yellow orionid.
I have always been able to see colour in M42 and m57 the ring nebula and a few other bright dsos like m27.But then again PN are the easiest to see colour in seeing that they are reasonably bright.
cheers Orestis
