I was fortunate with clear starry sky of Zagros mountains (central Iran) at the time of peak. The show was great, best Geminid I've ever seen, and one of the best meteor showers after Leonid storms in late 1990s and early 2000s.

This is a composite image from a video allsky camera. It captures 419 Geminid meteors between December 10 and December 14 (232 from the final night). All the meteors are brighter than magnitude 1, and many fireballs are recorded.

'The sky is falling' said Chicken Little and last night at our Haleakala summit site, between 0030UT to 0400 UT conservative estimates were about 300 ZHR. The meteors fell at such a rate that we couldn't call them out fast enough. Many multiple falls were witnessed thru the night and at times as many as 15 were counted in less than 10 seconds. It was truly an amazing night that we could not believe. WOW!!!
