Not sure whether you are interested in taking pictures of the sky, but just found this on another forum ;)

December

Geminids

December 13-14

Frequency: http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/met...ges/bars_4.gif
http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/moons/m7.gifThe most reliable meteor shower of the year, the Geminids are characterized by their multi-colored display--65% being white, 26% yellow, and the remaining 9% blue, red and green.
Parent Comet: 3200 Phaethon



What should be the best meteor shower of 2010 will occur in a little over a week beginning on the evening of Monday, Dec. 13.
Like most meteor showers, the Geminids will be at their best after midnight (early on the morning of Dec. 14), when the Earth is heading directly into the meteoroid stream. But some will be visible earlier in the night, on the evening of Dec. 13, because the meteors' radiant – where they appear to originate – is nearly circumpolar, so they will stay in view above the horizon all night.

nice find Nate, vaguely saw something on the news the other night, but my eyelids were 90% doing their job at the time.
