Title: Geminid meteor shower 12/15/17
Post by: richie on December 13, 2017, 05:20:56 PM
Hello,

Im going to be making an impromptu overland trip to Alabama hills than through Death valley this weekend.

There is a meteor shower and the moon rises at 4:30am so there will be perfect dark skys.

If anyone wants to meet in alabama hills i plan to arrive at night fall.

Let us know how the viewing is up there. I parked on top of a local hilltop and spotted over a dozen meteors in less than 10 mins on Wed night. Then I realized I was being tracked by no less than 6 coyotes, so I left.

That is when you need a 12 guage and a wounded rabbit call.

 Or a Louisville Slugger to distribute a wooden shower.
