Where to shoot Geminids?

[aspenx]

Any idea where in SEA will be a good spot to capture this meteor shower?

Maybe you can check with the Singapore Science Centre?

Thanks for the headsup. Didn't know of this forum.

Just signed up but looks like I need admin approval. Snooped around in the mean time and the information on Geminids seem to be dated at least 3years back.

You can also sign up for Sky and Telescope newsletter. Lots of info there. And also Astronomy.com

Noted. But really nobody on Clubsnap who is interested in photographing Geminids?

Very strange of you to ask! I already posted a reply there "13 hours ago". :think:

Seriously, what can we see from Science Centre??

13 hrs ago? I mean there was a post that's 10 hrs ago in there. Did you see that post by android17?

How do you plan to shoot it? I caught the Perseids meteor shower a couple of months ago and it was beautiful but the problem was that due to the light pollution i could only catch like 3 bright ones in an hour and they appear in multiple directions and each only last for 2 seconds at most. It is hard to predict where it will appear from and which direction it is heading. But probably Geminids will be better good luck

Yes I did. I don't think we'll be seeing much of it in Singapore.

I need to find the right place before I camp for Geminids. Will be my first time trying to capture a meteor shower.

Those who are keen can even drive up to Desaru. Just find a nice spot along the beach.
