Aloha listees, I received an email from astro-friend Wally Pacholka, who is an astrophotographer extraordinaire, and who visited us on Mauna Kea earlier in the year for our Dark Sky Star Party <http://astroday.net/DSSP.html>. In the email, Wally attached an incredible image of a Geminid fireball he caught Sunday night during the peak. It is perhaps one of the most brilliant Geminids I have seen, both pictorially and in person. Wally says that the Geminid shower from where he was located was "terrific last night - one of the best I have seen [except nov 2001 leonids]", and goes on to mention that this photo may be the largest Geminid catch on record. Have a look here: http://astroday.net/Images/_Geminid-Pacholka.jpg
