October 2009 Observations

Home   Recent Observations


I did not see many Orionids on October 21. The sky was partly cloudy and there just didn't seem to be many of them at all. However, I have read reports of rates in excess of 50 per hour.

Here are a few portions of whole images with fairly dim meteors in them.
