(meteorobs) Orionids Oct. 20/21 from Oregon

[Wesley Stone]

Oregon has been under the weather all week; clearing skies overnight just meant that fog replaced clouds.  I got a bit of helpful breeze to achieve almost an hour of Teff with a couple of short interruptions.  Orionid activity seemed about normal; during the watch, activity was faint.  I did note some brighter meteors (including a -3 ORI) through the fog/clouds during casual viewing after the sky conditions prevented counting.
