Geminids Dec 2013
Sky was patchy with clouds. Geminids surfaced shortly after midnight local time. Then a Gem fireball appear at 0:00:45:38. (UT Dec 13 15:15). A raw count from the tiny streaks include a x5 time increase of Gem count compare with the day before. |
Geminids fireball franked by two dimmer Gems. To show the actual progression of the fireball I created a few time spaced snapshots. Notice the tiny short tail behind the plasma head as it progressed towards the building roof top.

The bonus before the above Gem fireball event was this EVEN brighter sporadic fireball.

| Geminids Dec 11 2013 - Sirius and Canopus dotted in the above summed image. Constellation of Gemini is not visible in the FOV. The ZHR rate according to IMO is 10-15 but this number jumped to 100+ in dark locations. |
The Progression of the sporadic Fireball is sequenced below.
