Apparently this should be good tonight:
Top 10 tips for the 2006 Geminid meteor showerQUOTE (Earth & Sky)
The Geminid meteor shower is coming! It’ll peak during the night of Wednesday, December 13. The Geminids are one of the year’s best meteor showers. The Gemininds often produce 50 or more meteors per hour, or nearly a meteor a minute.

I was just outside and counted 3 shooting stars! Makes my night. Good night Toytown.

Very clear night for it last night - saw quite a few. Cheers for the tip.

Yes, thanks for the tip. I was out and about around midnight, and kept my eyes on the heavens. Lovely starry night, but didn't see any shooting stars unfortunately. However, I'm now wondering if I saw one on Tuesday night. I happened to be looking at the sky directly overhead, around maybe 9 or 9:30 p.m., and saw a bright point of light streak past, heading roughly from south to north. Could that have been an early Geminid?
