Anybody been out to take a look? Fortunately it's a cold and clear night so a good chance to see the annual Geminid meteor shower. I've just been out for 10 minutes and saw 7 meteor trails which is much better than usual....last time there was a lot of patchy cloud. Be warned though, it is getting pretty chilly out there.

Yup - seen a few and might take a mosey out to the darkness tomorrow with my tripod (and camera).

I live in the Manchester area, it's been a few months since we've seen the sky in general.

I'm in Higher Blackley and I've had a good view of the sky a few times in the last couple of weeks... you anywhere near the town centre?

I'm in Rossendale and nothing doing up here - more nebulous than a Pre-Budget Report
