(meteorobs) Geminids December 13/14, 2006 from Slovenia

[Javor Kac]

My second Geminid night was a real joy (except for the freezing 
temperature and strong winds during the last couple of hours).
I observed for six hours and recorded 661 meteors. Most (554) 
came from the Geminid radiant but other showers were also active.
Seven negative-magnitude meteors were seen, all were the 
Geminids:
 20:41:36 UT -1.5
 21:16    UT -1
 22:12:29 -5 (this one was seen low on the southern horizon; its 
absolute magnitude was likely about -10)
 23:43:04 UT -1.5
 00:16:33 UT -2
 01:50    UT -1
 02:16:32 UT -1

Clear skies!
