winter is coming
It has been pretty mild up to now… only one big storm with snow and then rain and then freezeup, but all in all not too bad.
In the next few days we get a taste of -15 C at night… time to haul more wood inside and keep the fires going.
We missed a -10 fireball on Saturday afternoon with the allsky camera system… The fireball went by around 17:54 and the camera did not start imaging until 6 minutes later, at 18:00.
This has since been fixed.. now starting at 17:00 and the dome heater has been taken off the timer and is now on 24/7.
The geminid meteor showed, peaking on Monday morning around 01:00 was a bust as we were clouded right out. The fireball from Saturday evening was almost certainly not a geminid from its path across the sky.
