It doesn't really matter whether it's 13th or 14th. Meteor showers just mean the frequency of meteors is higher, and the "peak" is just a gauge of when it's "highest", when it could be as high a day before and a day after the supposed peak. Frequency rises and falls as a gentle slope through the days, as long as you have a rough gauge of date it you definitely will be able to catch meteors.

Since NTU astro is already organising one, I'll be joining them instead, if i still have the energy left.. I have a competition on Friday!

Hi folks:

Gems shortly pass midnight Dec 15. Visually they are pretty too!
Video system detection using a 6mm and Watec902H2Ultimate. I have to shifted the FOV to match early vs late hours as the radiant rise/set.
