2011 Geminids – not a washout

The 2011 Geminid meteor shower didn’t disappoint despite a bright waning gibbous moon which was up most of the nighttime hours. The problem for the peak period (night of Dec. 13/morning of Dec. 14) in Okarche was extensive cloudiness and light precipitation.

The following day, I read where observers around the world were quite impressed with the show despite the moon brightness. Given the mostly clear skies in Okarche – I gave it a shot the following night hoping for some post-peak action. The moon was still quite bright and there were a few high clouds around, but I managed to capture several Geminids. I also had a bit of a time with dew forming on the lens which created some funky streaks in some of the images, but overall I was happy with my results.

It was nice to end with a few bright Geminids given the lackluster performance of the 2011 meteor season. Clouds or moon interference on peak nights, or in the case of the Leonids – just a poor show, meant very little entertainment this season.

Hopefully 2012 will be better. The bigger shows (Perseids, Leonids, and Geminids) will all have far less moon interference than what we experienced this year.
