3 years ago I witnessed a spectacular Geminid meteor shower. This year also we set out for a view of dark sky. Its quite tough to find such place near the city. Still we referred the light pollution map and tried to find a spot in the "green zone".

Spotted 50 odd meteors throughout the night whenever I was looking up. Most of the time I think we were busy setting up telescopes, tracker and lenses.
Spotted Comet C/2013 US 10 Catalina as well in the morning sky.
Also captured some regular objects like Jupiter, its moon, Venus, Mars etc.
