Two nights ago my cameras detected a total of 206 Geminids (some were probably duplicates). One night ago the total number dropped to 32 Geminids. Last night the number of Geminids was a whopping 2. It’s amazing how quickly the Geminids can fall off after their peak. It is safe to say that the 2010 Geminids are pretty much over for visual observers.
Last night marked SALSA3’s 82nd straight night with a meteor detection. With it currently raining and more forecast for tonight the streak may very well end at 82.
